Maximum Ride by James Patterson
Max Ride and her five friends grew up in a science lab/prison called the School. They were created as an experiment. An experiment where they ended up only 98 percent human. That other 2 percent had a big impact. These children are pretty special. But when an 'experiment' this secret and this special has escaped from the School, the scientists are pretty keen on making sure the world never finds out about them. Soon, Max and the other children find themselves on the run in an adventure beyond even their wildest dreams.
