About Me

I'm the school librarian at G.S. Lakie Middle School. As you can see - me, reading and comfy chairs go way back. I still enjoy Asterix and many other graphic novels. My main reason for blogging is for reviewing books for the students and anyone else that might be interested in YA literature.

Maximum Ride: the manga 5

Maximum Ride : the Manga #5 by James Patterson ; adapted and illustrated by NaRae Lee

We have a hugh fan base for the Maximum Ride series -- and it doesn't seem to matter what format it is in, it is snapped up (we have multiple copies of the chapter books, we have the graphic novel version and we have them in audio format too). I think that says something about how dynamic and thrilling this story is. I love the art work in the graphic novels, NaRae Lee is awesome!
The graphic novel interpretation of the series is now at volume 5 - so far each volume has featured one of the characters, and this time we're with the "Gasman."
Here's the summary:
The time has come for Max and her winged flock to face their ultimate enemy and discover their original purpose: to defeat the takeover of "Re-evolution," a sinister experiment to re-engineer a select group of the population into a scientifically superior master race ... and to terminate the rest. Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gasman and Angel have always worked together to defeat the forces working against them - but can they save the world when they are torn apart, living in hiding and captivity, halfway across the globe from one another?
