Fourteen-year-old Max introduced her and her flock and no one would dare forget these unusual characters. Born into the world as normal kids, they were kidnapped by scientists who fused bird DNA onto their human DNA. As a result, Max, Fang, the Gasman, Angel, Iggy and Nudge have incredible and amazing talents. Their beautifully feathered wings are for more than just show they literally can fly among the clouds.
The voice in her head won't tell her, though it won't keep quiet with all sorts of unwanted advice. And Max still doesn't know from where the voice is coming maybe from the chip implanted in her arm. But it all comes down to the fact that Max and her flock are still running for their lives and their freedom. The scientists want them back and have ordered the unrelenting Erasers, the half-human/half-wolf hybrids, on a constant hunt for the youngsters' return.
One fight with the Erasers leaves Fang dangerously wounded and quickly bleeding to death. A guy who walks by calls for an ambulance. He will die without help. At the hospital the doctors quickly discover that they aren't dealing with a normal patient, and the FBI soon arrives. One of their agents Anne invites Max and the flock to stay at her house for a little while to recuperate rest and heal. In exchange, they allow Anne to get to know them, ask questions and witness their talents. Max is skeptical and suspicious; she can't afford to trust anyone outside of her flock. But with Fang injured, she doesn't know what else to do. Soon Anne insists on everyone attending school. There, the children start making friends, and a boy asks Max out on a date. They enjoy their first traditional Thanksgiving and even have a bit of spare time to discover new talents, and to follow up on some clues as to their real parents' whereabouts. But something isn't right and Max is eager to move on. She has no idea what is about to transpire and is shocked to see a very familiar face.

I love this book. I wouldnt do nothing to change anything about it. Everything is fine about it.
I thought this book had some very intresting twist and turns. I really liked how many places the flock went to were actually real places. It had some supernatural things aswell; such as having wings and flying, and different charactors had different ablities such as Angel being able to read minds. Out of al the charactors; Max, Fang, Nudge, Iggy,Angel, and Gazzy I'd say Fang was my favorite.It was cool how Iggy and Gazzy can build bombs and other explosive stuff with Iggy being blind and all, Heck I can't even build a paper airplane without it coming out not working. I loved how max was a Butt- Kicking kinda girl! *~*GIRL~POWER*~*!!!!!!!!!!! Angel was kinda creey though how she could read minds and convince people to do things for her and the flock.Gazzy had really BAD gas attacks. Iggy was cool too. Nudge was VERY talkitive. But other than the blood crazy erasers chasing me I wouldn't mind to be a member o
This book was so good!!! I read the first 4 books in only 4 days!!! This book is filled with suspense, mystery, and adventure. The book is about six different kids with different and extraordinary talents.These kid shave no family and no place to go. The closest thing they had to a family was Jeb and he disappeared and they have never seen him since. These kids lived in a home until it was blown up by morphing werewolves. These kids are products of an experiment. They are 98 percent human and 2 percent avian hybrid. The morphing werewolves are their enemies that are trying to take the kids back to this place called the school. If you thought it was regular school then you are wrong. The school is a horrible place. This is a place where people steal children and use them for experiments. Most of these kids die at a very young age. This group of kids is the oldest experiment ever made. This was the background. Now this is the real story. The morphing wolves took the youngest od the group, a little girl named Angel, and take her back to the school. It is up to Max, the oldest of the group and a geirl also, to try and save Angel. Dont forget about Fang, Iggy, Nudge, and the Gasman. { also known as Gazzy}
