Schools out Forever is the 2nd book in the Maximum Ride series. Like the first this book is filled with action, adventure, and a little violence. Max and her flock continue to be attacked by whatecer the School has to throw at them. I think the best part of this book is when Max meets her clone, that was created to replace her. MaxII is the exact same in all ways including the wings and with Max knowing its her destiny to save the world this is just one more thing for her to worry about.

I think The Angel Experiment is an amazing book filled with action and adventure. I love the writing because it makes me feel as if I'm a part of the book. My favorite part is when the eraser muttations ( half human and half wolf ) attack the flock and kidnap Angel, the youngest member of the flock of bird kids. After this Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, and Gasman fearlessly try to rescue her. I can't wait for you to read the book and find out what happens in the end!!!
