Maximum Ride

The next series of three books by James Patterson are a continuation of the earlier page turner novels with the same cast of avian humans.  The Final Warning takes the main characters on an adventure to save the planet.  The quest takes the flock to Antarctica where they learn how global warming is changing climate.  Very soon the flock must fight for survival in more ways than one.  Romantic feelings awakened in Max continue to develop.  There is much for discussion.  The book sets up the stage for the next two novels Max and then Fang.   Enjoy!
