The End of a Great Series

If you like flying teenagers, these are the books for you. If you can stretch your imagination to feel the fear, sorrow, joy and love these kids share, you should really try this set. The last in the series comes out today, Tuesday, May 29, 2007. I hope you can find humor in the smart mouth and brain of Max, the intelligence of Iggy, the cool quiet strength of Fang, the sweet humor and tenderness of Angel, the togetherness of Nudge and the smell and thoughtfulness of Gasman. These characters are fun and hard to get along with at the same time. Science fiction a la James Patterson. I hope you like them as much as I did.
