Maximum Ride, The Angel Experiment by James Patterson

You should read this book because it's an epic adventure of 6 kids with wings called the Flock. They are on the run from the "School" and the "Erasers", which are wolf/human mutants. My favorite part was when Max was on the search for the best chocolate chip cookies. Her and Fang get cookies and Max went into a really big explanation about the cookie and Fang says it's fine.

Clementine by Sarah Pennypacker
