An action-packed adventure about six young 'escapees' form an institution called "The School. This ragtag group of genetic experiments is led by a maternal fourteen-year-old named Max, who is determined to keep them out of 'School', and safe in their mountain home. But that wish becomes a real challenge when the youngest of the 'flock' is kidnapped by another group of genetically engineered werewolves, called 'Erasers'.

Now Max must take the Flock from their secure nest and fly--using their own genetically added wings--all over the country on a rescue mission that quickly becomes a mission of discovery...about themselves, and their (preordained?) futures.

The story is written in lots of short chapters, and is extremely active. Readers will have a hard time setting this book down. I am waiting anxiously for the sequel to come in the mail!
