  Themes from Patterson's popular adult titles When the Wind Blows and The Lake
  House waft through this YA thriller, the author's first in the genre. Wood
  stars as Maximum Ride, 14-year-old leader of a band of kids who have escaped
  the lab where they were bred as 98% human and 2% bird (wings being a key
  component) and developed a variety of other-worldly talents. In Patterson's
  unusual universe, Max and her young cohorts are soon forced to rescue one of
  their own-a girl named Angel-from a pack of mutant wolf-humans called Erasers.
  Wood nails Patterson's often adult-beyond-their-years dialogue with a jaded
  tone. But the result of this pairing makes Max sound more off-putting than
  cool or intriguing. The listening experience is stalled in the starting gate,
  keeping the action-adventure earthbound rather than high-flying. Ages 12-up.
