Maximum Ride, Vol. 1, the Manga/James Patterson/256 pages

Maximum Ride is the fourteen-year leader of her flock,  a rag-tag bunch of kids that have been raised and experimented on at the "School" for their whole lives. After escaping and being on their own for the past few years, their youngest sibling, Angel, has been kidnapped and taken back to the school. The flock heads across the country to rescue Angel.  Always in constant danger from the Erasers, half-human, half-wolf beings from the school, the action is non-stop. Illustrator NaRae Lee has transformed the popular James Patterson series into a fascinating new manga series.  It is considered an original American manga novel, so it reads more like a graphic novel, left to right. I enjoyed the graphic novel, but I think having read the novel version by Patterson made the read more enjoyable.
