This series has also been adapted as manga.
The Maximum Ride novels for young adults feature 6 teenagers who are 98% human and 2% avian.
NOTE: James Patterson’s author note in the beginning of each books says:
“To the reader:
The idea for Maximum Ride comes from earlier books of mine called When
the Wind Blows and The Lake House, which also feature a character named
Max who escapes from a quite despicable School. Most of the similarities
end there. Max and the other kids in Maximum Ride are NOT the same Max
and kids featured in those two books. Nor do Frannie and Kit play any
part in Maximum Ride. I hope you enjoy the ride anyway.”

Stephen King returns to the
characters and territory of one of his most popular novels ever, The
Shining, in this instantly riveting novel about the now middle-aged Dan
Torrance (the boy protagonist of The Shining) and the very special
12-year-old girl he must save from a tribe of murderous paranormals.
On highways across America, a tribe of people called The True Knot
travel in search of sustenance. They look harmless – mostly old, lots of
polyester, and married to their RVs. But as Dan Torrance knows, and
spunky 12-year-old Abra Stone learns, The True Knot are quasi-immortal,
living off the “steam” that children with the “shining” produce when
they are slowly tortured to death.
Haunted by the inhabitants of the Overlook Hotel where he spent one
horrific childhood year, Dan has been drifting for decades, desperate to
shed his father’s legacy of despair, alcoholism, and violence. Finally,
he settles in a New Hampshire town, an AA community that sustains him,
and a job at a nursing home where his remnant “shining” power provides
the crucial final comfort to the dying. Aided by a prescient cat, he
becomes “Doctor Sleep.”
Then Dan meets the evanescent Abra Stone, and it is her spectacular
gift, the brightest shining ever seen, that reignites Dan’s own demons
and summons him to a battle for Abra’s soul and survival. This is an
epic war between good and evil, a gory, glorious story that will thrill
the millions of hyper-devoted fans of The Shining and wildly satisfy
anyone new to the territory of this icon in the King canon.

Twenty years ago, a boy named
Jack Sawyer travelled to a parallel universe called The Territories to
save his mother and her Territories “twinner” from a premature and
agonizing death that would have brought cataclysm to the other world.
Now Jack is a retired Los Angeles homicide detective living in the
nearly nonexistent hamlet of Tamarack, WI. He has no recollection of his
adventures in the Territories and was compelled to leave the police
force when an odd, happenstance event threatened to awaken those
memories.
When a series of gruesome murders occur in western Wisconsin that are
reminiscent of those committed several decades earlier by a real-life
madman named Albert Fish, the killer is dubbed “The Fisherman” and
Jack’s buddy, the local chief of police, begs Jack to help his
inexperienced force find him. But is this merely the work of a disturbed
individual, or has a mysterious and malignant force been unleashed in
this quiet town? What causes Jack’s inexplicable waking dreams, if that
is what they are, of robins’ eggs and red feathers? It’s almost as if
someone is trying to tell him something. As that message becomes
increasingly impossible to ignore, Jack is drawn back to the Territories
and to his own hidden past, where he may find the soul-strength to
enter a terrifying house at the end of a deserted track of forest, there
to encounter the obscene and ferocious evils sheltered within it.

Five interconnected, sequential narratives, set in the years from 1960 to 1999. Each story is deeply rooted in the sixties, and each is haunted by the Vietnam War.
Stephen King, whose first novel, Carrie, was published in 1974, the year before the last U.S. troops withdrew from Vietnam, is the first hugely popular writer of the TV generation. Images from that war -- and the protests against it -- had flooded America's living rooms for a decade. Hearts in Atlantis, King's newest fiction, is composed of five interconnected, sequential narratives, set in the years from 1960 to 1999. Each story is deeply rooted in the sixties, and each is haunted by the Vietnam War.
In Part One, "Low Men in Yellow Coats," eleven-year-old Bobby Garfield discovers a world of predatory malice in his own neighborhood. He also discovers that adults are sometimes not rescuers but at the heart of the terror.
In the title story, a bunch of college kids get hooked on a card game, discover the possibility of protest...and confront their own collective heart of darkness, where laughter may be no more than the thinly disguised cry of the beast.
In "Blind Willie" and "Why We're in Vietnam," two men who grew up with Bobby in suburban Connecticut try to fill the emptiness of the post-Vietnam era in an America which sometimes seems as hollow -- and as haunted -- as their own lives.
And in "Heavenly Shades of Night Are Falling," this remarkable book's denouement, Bobby returns to his hometown where one final secret, the hope of redemption, and his heart's desire may await him.
Full of danger, full of suspense, most of all full of heart, Stephen King's new book will take some readers to a place they have never been...and others to a place they have never been able to completely leave.
