The series should be fine if the child can take violence. They doesn't describe every gruesome detail, but if you have a soft stomach, it would be best if you left it alone. The book also adds Max's (main character) feelings for Fang and other characters a bit more when you reach the books Max, Fang, and Angel.
The maturity level of the child will also be a factor. It is thought that females mature at an earlier age than boys, but boys like rough things usually. Max is 14 or 15 depending on the book and gained maturity quickly form living on her own with the flock for 2 years. It can be easier if the child can understand this.
James Patterson. Something to know: The movie Maximum Ride will be in theaters sometime in the year of 2013(: !
the 5th maximum ride book has already came out. itt's been out for about a half a year or so now.
Since it's the last book of the series, it'll be about the last battle of Maximum Ride and the Flock. Since it comes out next year, no specifics are known yet.
the first movie "angel experiment" will be released next year (2011.) next year the last book of the series 'angel" will also be released in the early months of the year. XoX Maximum Ride Girl ----------------------------------------------------------- the answer above is completely wrong, it comes out Summer 2013
The 6th book of Maximum Ride came out this year (2010) on March 15th, I'm pretty sure. Anyway, the book is now out. Its also very good!!!
There are now currently 9 books in the Maximum Ride series: The Angel Expiriment School's Out Forever Saving The World and Other Extreme Sports The Final Warning Max Fang Angel Nevermore and Maximum Ride Forever Just last year, the author of the Maximum Ride series came out with a new book titled Hawk. SPOILER: The book is about Max's daughter, Phoenix, who takes on a new name and appearance. The book came out in 2020, and the flock is a lot older (For sure ages are unknown, but you may be able to do the math. Max was in prison for ten years, and when she had been imprisoned, Angel had been 10. When Angel was 7, Max was fifteen, 15 + 3 = 18, plus Max's 10 years in prison = 28, so I say Max is in her upper twenties, lower to mid thirties.) That is all.
well the last one was fang and it came out the 20th of march (round about) and there are reoumers another is going to be made called "ANGEL" yay!it is said to come out next year in jan. yours truly Maximum Ride girl
2010
there's fourteen year old Maximum Ride or Max for short. There's eleven year old Nudge and there's six year old Angel.
Maximum Ride is a 14 year old girl with wings. She is 98% human and 2% bird, which explains the wings. In the Maximum Ride Series, by James Patterson, Max is the leader of her "flock" made up of people just like her. Including; Max (14), Fang, (14), Iggy (14), Nudge (11), Gazzy (8), and Angel (6). [Towards the end of the series, they each turn 1 year older] Look out for the last book, coming in 2012.
2005, the year it was released.
8 years old probably shouldn't read the Maximum Ride series because, these books are placed in the teen/young adult section. But, some people younger than that read it and finished the whole series. It should really depend on the child's reading level and what they're comfortable reading.
