This is NOT, repeat NOT (voice in the distance: not!!) a Maximum Ride story. I got the idea after I read Maximum Ride. Yes, I realize Jake is a boy's name (like, duh, I'm not stupid), but I wanted the main character to be a girl with an interesting name. So Jake was born! YAY!!!!

Just read it, okay?


CHARACTERS

Jake Sampson - 13 - Me, the heroine, not hero, of the story.

Andrew Thorton - 13 - My best buddy and partner in crime.

Bailey Campbell - 5 - She can outrun a tiger, too, just not as fast.


PART ONE: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES

Now, don't put this book down - or else. That may sound a little freaky, but that's all that's worth mentioning right now.
