Get ready for the maximum thrill ride from #1 New York Times bestselling author James Patterson.

Fang, Iggy, Nudge, the Gasman, Angel, and Maximum: Six kids who are pretty normal in most ways – except that they're 98% human and 2% bird. Riding the wind, their wings are an amazing gift... and yet, their world can morph into a nightmare in a single instant. For when the bloodthirsty Erasers – half men, half-wolves genetically engineered by sick and sinister scientists – kidnap little Angel, the Flock embarks on a rescue mission that will change them forever.

From Death Valley, California, to the bowels of the New York City subway system, 14-year-old Max leads her five feisty "family" members on a journey full of nonstop action, adventure, and soul-seeking – not to mention a little bit of saving the world on the side.
