Lee nicely handles their reactions to sights we all take for granted, and provides a base from which explorations into who their parents might be can occur, with the occasional threat fended off.Īspects of plotting convenience remain, although that’s down to Patterson’s novels, not Lee’s adaptation. Having spent most of the previous two volumes on the run, punctuated by life or death battles against the mutated creatures wanting to capture them, Max and her friends are grateful for an extended period of calm and safety near Washington.
A very public manifestation of flight in Maximum Ride 2 has drawn the attention of the FBI, and their interviewing each of the six children separately makes for some nice character insights when the children lie, as seen on the sample art. Via James Patterson’s plot for the second novel School’s Out – Forever, NaRae Lee puts that right in the opening pages of this volume. Whether in the treetops of Central Park or in the bowels of the Manhattan subway system, Max and her adopted family take the ride of their lives.While a generally thrilling young adult series, if there’s been a consistent shortcoming to date, it’s that Maximum Ride has primarily spotlighted two characters from a group of six while neglecting the others.
Her friends brave a journey to blazing hot Death Valley, CA, to save Angel, but soon enough, they find themselves in yet another nightmare-this one involving fighting off the half-human, half-wolf "Erasers" in New York City. It may seem like a dream come true to some, but their lives can morph into a living nightmare at any time-like when Angel, the youngest member of the "Flock," is kidnapped and taken back to the "School" where she and the others were genetically engineered by sinister scientists. She and all the members of the "Flock"-Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gasman and Angel-are just like ordinary kids-only they have wings and can fly. Fourteen-year-old Maximum Ride, better known as Max, knows what it's like to soar above the world.
