I know Patterson's name from my work at the public library--he is prolific and popular. This series is his first for young adults. The first book in the five-book series is The Angel Experiment. Maximum Ride is a 14-year old girl, one of a group of mutant children (98% human, 2% bird) who escape from a lab and spend time trying to avoid some wolf-hybrids called the Erasers. This looks like traditional science fiction, with a science experiment gone astray and plenty of ensuing chaos and adventure. I picked it up at the public library based on the author's popularity. I'm actually quite surprised that the main character is a girl! I think the story would appeal to readers of both genders.
