About this month's Book Club
book: The Angel Experiment
"Many kids daydream
about having wings and being able to soar across the sky. For
the narrator, 14-year-old Max, it’s no dream. Maximum Ride is
Max’s full name, and she lives with her close-knit “family.”
They may not be related to her by blood, but the six of them
have spent the past four years hiding out at a house high in the
mountains. They were bred by scientists who, as an experiment,
grafted avian DNA onto their human genes, and kept them in cages
in a science lab/prison called the School. They’re 98% human,
and 2% avian. They’ve all got wings. And they can fly. The
scientists have developed another mutant group, part human, part
wolf, called Erasers. They look human, but can morph at will
into fanged and bloodthirsty wolf men. When Max’s nightly
nightmare of being discovered by Erasers comes true one morning,
Angel (Max's "sister") is kidnapped and brought back to the
School. Max and her flock set out on a rescue mission, which
will span 600 miles and 7 hours of flying time."
