He has created robots to hunt and destroy Max before she finds out his largest secret.

She is in love with Fang but is confused by how he feels and she feels terrible about her mom. • Possible solution: Max is very strong and ignorant.

She makes Max’s job hard by always doing what she wants. • Gazzy: Gazzy ,or the gasman, is eight years old and gets his name from his unnatural powers of external body gases. He can also imitate any voice. He is very good with explosives and also makes Max’s job as leader difficult.

  8. Minor Characters • Nudge: Nudge is an eleven year old girl with style. She’s really good at hacking computers and helps Max a lot by being the flock’s peacekeeper. • Iggy: Iggy is fourteen like Max and Fang and is the only member of the flock that is blind. He can feel certain colors and is Gazzy’s partner with explosives.

  9. Critique • "I just really like this series. Mostly because I like Max. I'm forty‐seven, and I want to be Max. How many teenagers must want to be Max? Max is the Superman of the decade." • -Brenda Cooper, A Space For Tea (blog) • http://www.jamespatterson.com/books_max.php • ‘’My friend recommended this book to me because she said the author was great. Once I started I became addicted and now have read all of them before her!’’ • http://blogcritics.org/books/article/review-maximum-ride-by-james-patterson/

  10. My Thoughts • Max is an amazing read! There’s action and adventure at every corner ! I loved reading this, I couldn’t put the book down. The unexpected would always happen and I congratulate James patterson on this spectacular book. I loved how each character seemed real and they were all so different.
