Saving the World: A Maximum Ride Novel (Book 3) by James Patterson
In MAXIMUM RIDE: SAVING THE WORLD AND OTHER EXTREME SPORTS, the time has arrived for Max and her winged "Flock" to face their ultimate enemy and discover their original purpose: to defeat the takeover of "Re-evolution", a sinister experiment to re-engineer a select population into a scientifically superior master race...and to terminate the rest. Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gasman, and Angel have always worked together to defeat the forces working against them--but can they save the world when they are torn apart, living in hiding and captivity, halfway across the globe from one another?
The third in a nine book series It's cool that Fang's blog is now a part of the book as it adds another dimension and gives another main character a chance to provide his voice along with Max's. Thankfully the action and story lines stay stead so it makes moving through it very quickly as my kids and I want to know what's going to happen next. My only big problem with it was the idea that Fang could amass an army of kids that would change the tide of this war the flock is waging against the 'evil scientists'. I just can't get that thousands of kids with access to computers and blogging have no adults in their lives that would stop them from potentially getting themselves seriously injured or killed much less not go with them to help out. As a parent who is reading this with their kids I still have some concern over the level of violence where children are being used as soldiers, experimented on, and treated like property. But at least this is lending itself to ALOT of discussions with my kids.
