MAXIMUM RIDE: THE FINAL WARNING by James Patterson

This book is about a group of 5 kids who can mutate into birds whenever they want! They have a mission. Their mission is to save the WORLD!! But, when they are pursued uber-director, their creator, wants to sell then to the highest bidder, they have to struggle to fight against him.

 

The scariest part in the book, for me, was the part when they were in Antarctica, Sue-Anne gets taken by the leg by a sea monster! A little bit later in the book, the figure out that Sue-Anne died!! 

I think both boys and girls who are ages 12+ will enjoy this book.
