"There is one bright side to this." said Fang.
"Yeah, what's that?" The new and improved Erasers would mutilate us before they killed us?
He grinned at me so unexpectedly I forgot to flap for a second and dropped several feet. "You looove me," he crooned smugly. Holding his arms out wide, he added,
"You love me this much."

There's one last chance to save the world... and it's in the hands of six extraordinary kids who can fly. Only they, led by the valiant Max, can stop a deadly plot to annihilate half the human population even as they're being hunted by nightmarish enemies. With mankind on the brink of destruction, Max must fight to protect those she loves, identify a traitor in the flock, and uncover a startling secret that will change her future...if there is a future.
Review
This book keeps the adventure rolling without a break, but it also makes you experience many other aspects of a teenage girl's life, and the strong love for her family. The characters continue to draw you in, and the book raises new questions, both for yourself and the author. It makes you understand how the simplicity of a child's view can alter the world. This book continues to be unique and creates an almost sense of family with the characters. This book is a great read.
