Tena, According to a note from James Patterson in /Maximum Ride - School's Out - Forever /(2nd in the series), "the idea for Maximum Ride comes from_ _earlier books of mine called /When the Wind Blows /and/ The Lake House,/ which also feature a charaacter named Max who escapes from a quite despicable School. Most of the similarities end there. and the other kids in Maximum Ride are not the same Max and kids featured in those two book. Nor do Frannie and Kit play any part in Maximum Ride. I hope you enjoy the ride anyway."
I think you should start with what you have! It's great fun, isn't it? Pam TLP wrote: >I just finished Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment by >James Patterson.
