Maximum Ride, Vol.

Maximum Ride: The
Manga #4
by James Patterson
Goodreads blurb:
Despite their initial hesitation, living with Anne has softened the
Flock, so Max is keenly aware that it's time to leave. With Thanksgiving so
near, though, all of them want to stay, at least until they've had their first
ever Thanksgiving turkey! But danger is on the horizon as Jeb's plan advances,
and while the Flock's new school seems normal and safe, secrets are hidden
beneath its prestigious facade...
About the Author:
The subject of a Time magazine feature called,
"The Man Who Can't Miss," James Patterson is the bestselling author
of the past year, bar none, with more than 16 million books sold in North
America alone. In 2007, one of every fifteen hardcover fiction books sold was a
Patterson title. In the past three years, James has sold more books than any
other author (according to Bookscan), and in total, James's books have sold an
estimated 220 million copies worldwide. He is the first author to have #1 new titles
simultaneously on The New York Times adult and children's
lists and is the only author to have five new hardcover novels debut at #1 on
the list in one year—a record-breaking feat he's accomplished every year since
2005. To date, James Patterson has had nineteen consecutive #1 New York
Timesbestselling novels, and holds the New York Times record
for most Hardcover Fiction bestselling titles by a single author (63 total),
which is also a Guinness World Record.
From his James Patterson Pageturner Awards (which rewarded groups and individuals for creative and effective ways to spread the joy of reading) to his website ReadKiddoRead.com (which helps adults find books that kids are sure to love) to his regular donations of thousands of books to troops overseas, Patterson is a lifelong champion of books and reading. His first foray into books for all ages was the critically acclaimed Maximum Ride series, which debuted on the New York Times bestsellers list at #1 and remained there for twelve straight weeks. The series has so far made appearances on The New York Times bestsellers lists ninety-four cumulative times, proving that kids of all ages love page turners. He captured the attention of boy readers with the Daniel X series, and his third series for readers of all ages debuted in December 2009 with Witch & Wizard, which spent five consecutive weeks atop the New York Times bestsellers list.
Patterson is the creator of the #1 new detective series of the past dozen years, featuring Alex Cross and including the Hollywood-adapted "Along Came a Spider" and "Kiss the Girls," starring Academy Award-winning actor Morgan Freeman. He is also the creator of the #1 new detective series of the past five years, featuring Lindsay Boxer and the other members of the Women's Murder Club, from which the ABC television drama series was adapted. He has authored books behind six films on the Hollywood fast-track, including the upcoming Maximum Ride movie forthcoming from Avi Arad, the producer of X-Men and Spiderman.
He is the author of novels—from The Thomas Berryman Number (1976) to Honeymoon (2005)—that have won awards including the Edgar, the BCA Mystery Guild's Thriller of the Year, the International Thriller of the Year award, and the Reader's Digest Reader's Choice Award. And, he has won a Children's Choice Book Council's Children's Choice Awards "Author of the Year" award (2010).
One of Forbes magazine's Celebrity 100, James made a guest appearance on the popular FOX TV show "The Simpsons" in March, 2007.

My Thoughts - 5 out of
5 unicorns - I loved it!!
**Checked out from the high
school library
Okay
this is book 4, and I still love this series :)
As always remember these reviews are tough for me because it is harder
to talk about these without giving away too much. They are a quick read for me as well.
Max
and Fang are still awesome at protecting the flock, but Angel does help out
with her special abilities when needed.
Total is full of surprises and his own talents. Iggy had a surprise in this story. And the flock is betrayed and lied to even
more in this story. I feel bad for them
and wish I could adopt this kids. They
need someone who looks out for them instead of them being used. Great story that keeps you intrigued and
sucked into the story. There are no
boring parts in this series.
I
can’t wait to read book 5!! And this is
going to happen very soon!!
I highly
recommend graphic novels/manga for all your reluctant readers and your kids who
are very visual. I also think they are a
great break in between books or filler when you don’t have time to read a full
novel.
Interested in reading??
