Fourteen-year-old Maximum Ride, better known as Max, knows what it's like to soar above the world. She & all the members of the ' Flock'
- Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gasman & Angel
- are just like ordinary kids
- only they have wings & can fly. It may seem like a dream come true to some, but their lives can morph into a living nightmare at any time.
