Maximum Ride: Manga Volume 1

James Patterson's bestselling series now in manga.

Fourteen-year-old Maximum Ride, better known as Max, knows what it's like to soar above the world. 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. It may seem like a dream come true to some, but their lives can morph into a living nightmare at any time.

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, her friends brave a journey to blazing hot Death Valley, California, to save her. Soon enough, they find themselves in yet another nightmare, this one involving fighting off the half-human, half-wolf 'Erasers' in New York City.

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. Along the way, Max discovers from her old friend and father-figure Jeb—now her betrayed and greatest enemy—that her purpose is to save the world. But can she?

Maximum Ride: Manga Volume 1 combines thrilling adventure with heart-stopping suspense, taking readers on an unforgettable journey.
