"Warning: If you dare to read this story, you become part of the Experiment. I know that sounds a little mysterious - but it's all I can say right now. Max."
"Do not put this book down. I'm dead serious -- your life could depend on it....The six of us -- me, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, the Gasman and Angel -- were made on purpose, by the sickest, most horrible 'scientists' you could possibly imagine. They created us as an experiment. An experiment where we ended up 98 percent human. That other 2 percent has had a big impact, let me tell you."
"Six experimental beings, just kids really, escape from The School, where they were created, 98% human and 2% bird. Their leader, Max, is only 14 years old. They are hunted by the Erasers, wicked wolf-like creatures with a taste for flying humans. Their mission is to rescue Angel from these malicious mutants...and save the world." -From Nancy Keane's Book Talks -- Quick and Simple
