Maximum Ride

YA
Maximum Ride series.
While Max (who's prophesied to save the world) tends the usual flock of "birdkids," her ex, Fang, is bringing together a new group of disenfranchised supernatural teens--including Max's clone, Maya. Hurt feelings and jealousies are put aside when the cultish Doomsday Group threatens world annihilation. Taut pacing, snappy dialogue, and engaging romantic entanglements extend the series.

YA
Maximum Ride series.
Max, still on the run, uncovers the corporate enemy's endgame: save the world by halving its population--unless she and her fellow genetic hybrid "bird kids" can stop it. Though the blog-recruited army-o'-kids is hard to swallow, Patterson impressively manages to challenge the flock in new ways (disunity! romance!) while offering satisfying, occasionally surprising answers to the series's overriding questions.
