James Patterson

I recently started reading a book series called Maximum Ride. It's a story about a girl whose grown up with an odd life. Sure, she has five people she has to take care of and is learning the life lessons that we all have to learn, but there's one catch. All six of them have wings. When they were born, scientists took them and grafted avian DNA into their stem cells. The story starts in the mountains of Colorado, where 14-year olds Max, Fang, Iggy, 10-year old Nudge, 8-year old Gasman (or Gazzy), and 6-year old Angel live. They were rescued from "The School", the place where they lived up until 4 years ago, by Jeb Batchelder. However, he went missing 2 years ago and hasn't been seen since. They all think he's dead, but they never speak of it. Max, as the oldest, is taking care of everyone. This is as much as I'm going to tell you about the books. The first book is titled Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment. I'm currently on the 3rd book, and I love the series so far. I actually kind of like James Patterson as a writer, but I've only read 3 of his books, so I'm not sure I like him that much. Anyway, I recommend the series to anyone and everyone, unless they're 9 and under, then I don't believe they should read it.
