My favorite book from last trimester was Maximum Ride: Saving the World and other Extreme Sports. I really liked this book so much because this book as a lot of imagery, figurative language, and description. In the book these characters are Max, Fang, The Gasman, Angel, Iggy, and Nudge. And the side characters are The Erasers-Half wolf, Half Human and the Whitecoats (Scientists). The time has arrived for Max and the flock face their ultimate enemy and discover their original purpose: to defeat the takeover of "Re-evolution". A sinister experiment to re-engineer a select population into a scientifically superior master race and to terminate the rest. In the beginning of the story the flock are driving in a van west and just entering Louisiana and soon about to enter Texas. The flock doesn't know where to go but west. They take a stop and Fang thinks they should go see a football game. The game is Dallas Cowboys vs. Chicago Bears. They decide to go since Fang thinks it get them to get attention for help against the Erasers, Whitecoats, and Itex. They to get spotted and as soon as security guards come in they fly away. They decide to sleep at a national park, in the trees, for the night. Fang thinks the flock should forget the mission and just live on their own in a nice safe house. The flock agrees but not Max until she is forced to agree, so she says yes but she is still unsure about it. Max and Fang leave the flock find some food and water sources but can't find anyway. They stop to take a break and they talk to each other. Max talks how she is unsure on what to do now. Fang comes over to her and massages her. Max asks what he is doing and says he is trying to change her mind and gives her a kiss.
After the kiss Iggy, Nudge, Gasman, Angel, and Total get kidnapped by hundreds and thousands of Flyboys (Flying Robot Erasers). While the rest of the flock are kidnapped Max and Fang, who don't know that Iggy, Nudge, Gasman, Angel, and Total had been kidnapped by Flyboys, fly to Ella and Dr. Martinez's house to pass by. And while they are there Dr. Martinez says she might be able to remove the chip Max had, apparently, in her left arm. After the chip was taken out of her left arm Max had lost the ability to move her left arm but a couple of days later she had regained that ability and her arm was as good as new. While there Fang found a picture of baby Gasman in Dr.Martinez's office. Also he found a book about the recombiant-DNA theory and one on birds. When Fang and Max return they find out that the rest of the flock has been captured and they realize they have been taken by car and follow its tracks to an 18-wheeler parked in an unpopulated area in Arizona. As the Fang and Max try to save the flock they find out that Angel has taken side with Ari and Jeb. They all end up back at The School again. They learn that all the other mutants have been retired, word used to mean destroyed or killed by the Whitecoats, and they were the last ones left before the world's population would go down to at least half. This plan is known as the By-Half Plan.
After Max finds out about the By-Half Plan The Flock breaks out of the school before they are killed/executed but Ari (Jeb's son) unusually, helps them break out by ripping the bars of the cage they were in. And Max asks Ari to come along. Fang, Izzy, Gazzy, and Nudge get mad at Max and thinks she is crazy and nuts. Angel also agrees with Max that Ari should come along since he helped them break out. After a couple of days Fang and Max decide they should break up. Meaning the group should split up because of Ari. Izzy and Gazzy go with Fang, and Angel, Nudge, and Ari go with Max. Fang's group goes to the west coast while Max's group head to Europe because of the Voice telling her to. Fang's group end up in Hollywood just chilling when they get attacked by Flyboys. And bust up the Hollywood sign by having the Flyboys run into it. A gang near the area was able to them give a safe house for a night or two. The group tries to have Life Magazine publish a story on bird-mutant kids but are unsuccessful. The next day they again get attacked by more Flyboys and this time the gang helps them out. They also brought out something that looked like a bazooka. Mean while Max's group take a plane across the country to Great Britain. There they see landmarks and visit places all around like London. They also find an Itex Headquarters in the British area. After England they fly to Paris, France to also see landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, eat french food, and stay there for a night. Also because the Voice told her. They find a Itex Headquarters in southern France as well and for it.
During the time we didn't need to blog anymore I finished the book. So what I explained above is only half of the story.
Sounds very interesting
