"Maximum Ride and her Flock-- Fang, Nudge, Iggy, Gazzy and Angel-- have left behind the horrors of the School, the lab in which they were genetically engineered. If they can survive one last encounter with the savage Erasers, they finally might have a shot at being a normal family-- and for some of them, maybe even finding their parents. But Max doesn't have that hope: Her origins are still shrouded in as much mystery as ever-- and her life's getting more complicated, not less. She has an uncanny new ability, uncomfortable new feelings and a distinctly unwelcome voice in her head that taunts her with her destiny: to one day save the world. Being a regular teen also comes with a down side-- Max and the gang are going back to school, but this one is different from the one they knew. Different, yet ordinary. After lifetimes of agony and adventure, they have a lot to learn about fitting in. But as classes begin at Woodbrook Academy, the answers they find may tear them apart. Save the world? Max has her work cut out just keeping her Flock together" -- Page [4] of cover.
