What this book is about

In the fifth Maximum Ride novel, Max and her flock of winged kids face a new threat: a plan to poison the world's oceans and destroy marine life on a massive scale. Patterson's high-velocity YA series keeps its formula: short chapters, breathless action, and Max's sardonic first-person voice as she manages both a world-scale threat and the complicated dynamics of her found family.
