"School's Out Forever!" by James Patterson Quiz

Answer: Ari

He's the leader of a pack of Erasers-creatures, half wolf and half human.

"Morphing had hurt at first-his lupine DNA wasn't seamlessly grafted into his stem cells, like the other Erasers'... But he wasn't complaining. It would all be worth it the moment he got his claws on Max and choked the life right out of her... He'd come back from the dead for it."

The Flock is a group of six "bird-kids": Max, Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gasman and Angel.

Answer: Wings

At the end of chapter 4, the Flock is just getting ready to look for somewhere to land for the night when Max notices, "a weird dark cloud headed toward us... 'Fang! What's that? Behind us, at ten o'clock.' He frowned, checking it out. 'Too fast for a storm cloud. Too small, too quiet for choppers. Not birds-too lumpy."'

But Max soon realizes what the "thing" flying at them really is:

"These Erasers had wings, which was a new and revolting development on the Eraser front. Half-wolf, half-human, and now half-avian? That couldn't be a happy mix. And they were headed our way at about eighty miles an hour."

Answer: Cows

The comparison is made after the Voice in her head says at the end of chapter 5:

'Max? Size isn't everything.'

"Compared to the Erasers, we were nimble little stinging wasps, and they were clunky, slow, awkward flying cows."

Answer: Angel

She's able to read minds, but that is only the first of many things the six-year-old can do. For instance, in 'The Angel Experiment', Angel--the youngest member of the flock--was able to breathe underwater and request others to do her bidding.

During their first fight with the flying Erasers in 'School's Out Forever!', Max saves Nudge from being eaten, Iggy drops a bomb on the creature he's fighting, and the Eraser facing Angel just plummets toward the water:

"'You're gonna fall now' I heard Angel say in a normal voice. I swung around to see her gravely watching an Eraser who looked confused, paralyzed. Angel shifted her gaze to the dark water below. Fear entered the Eraser's eyes, and his wings folded... 'You're getting scary, you know that?" I said to Angel, not really kidding."

Gasman's eight and Angel's brother. His nickname is Gazzy, and in a fight more than capable of holding his own:

"I laughed as I saw Gazzy roll completely over like a fighter plane, smacking an Eraser in the jaw on the turn. The Eraser swung a hard punch, landing it on Gazzy's thigh, and Gazzy winced, then swung a side kick at the Eraser's hand, which snapped back."

Answer: False

In chapter 6, he is injured when Ari "lunged" at him:

"Ari managed to take a swipe at Fang's side, shredding the jacket."

Fang is fourteen, just like Max and Iggy.

In chapter 7, Max asks each of the Flock if he or she is hurt anywhere. Of the other five, only the Gasman, Angel, Iggy and Nudge "report" Fang, on the other hand, insists he's "fine," despite evidence to the contrary:

"Fang was flying awkwardly, his hand pressed against his side... 'What's going on?' I said in my no-nonsense tone. It had never worked on him before , but a girl had to keep trying. 'Nothing,' he said, but that one word was tight and strained. Which meant Fang was lying through his teeth. 'Fang-,' I began, and then saw the arm pressed against his side was dark and wet. Blood. 'Your arm!' ''S not my arm,' he muttered. Then his eyes fluttered shut and he started to lose altitude fast."

Answer: Nick

In chapter 11, Max explains how she-and Fang-is different from an ordinary human:

"'We have lungs, but we also have smaller air sacs. And-our stomachs are different. Our bones. Our blood." Gee, pretty much everything. 'And you have ... wings?' the second doctor asked in a low voice. I nodded. 'You're a human-avian hybrid,' the first doctor said. 'That's one name for it,' I said tightly... The female doctor became all business. 'We're giving him saline, to counter the shock, but he needs blood.' 'You can't give him hu-regular blood,' I said. All the scientific knowledge I'd gleaned over the years from reports and experiments started coming to the surface. 'Our red blood cells have nuclei.' Like birds.' The doctor nodded. 'Get ready to give him a donation,' she instructed me briskly."

Dean Mickelson is a supposed FBI agent who appears in chapter 13, Jeff is the name Iggy gives in chapter 14, and I made up the character Rex.

Answer: Anne

She appears at the end of chapter 14 and orders Dean and the other agents out of the room.

In chapter 15, she introduces herself and explains the "real" reason the Federal Bureau of Investigation is involved:
"She reached her hand across the table for me to shake. 'My name is Anne Walker,' she said, "and yes, I'm one of Them. I'm the one they call in when everything goes kablooey.' Have things gone kablooey?' I asked politely. She gave a short laugh. 'Uh, yeah,' she said in a 'duh' tone of voice. 'When we get a call from a hospital saying they've got at least two and possibly six previously unknown recombinant DNA life-forms and one of them is gravely injured, then, yes, I think we can safely say that things have gone kablooey with a capital 'kuh.'' 'Oh,' I said. 'Gee, we sound so important.' One side of her mouth twitched. 'Uh-huh... This is the deal: We've heard about you. Rumors have been filtering into the intelligence community for years about a secret lab producing viable recombinant life-forms. 'But it's never been verified, and people have always dismissed it as urban-legend stuff. Needless to say, the very possibility that it could be-well, we've got people assigned to finding out and cataloguing info, hearsay, or suspicion about you... How about we make a trade? You give us a chance to learn about you--in nonpainful, noninvasive ways-and we'll give Nick the best medical care available and the rest of you a safe place to stay. You can rest up, eat, Nick can get better, and then you can decide what to do from there."'

Answer: Yes

In chapter 16, a doctor tells Max that he's in stable condition:

"'We were able to patch up his side, stop all the hemorrhaging. A main artery had been hit... If nothing goes wrong, he should be okay. He needs to take it easy for maybe three weeks.' Which meant probably about six days, given our incredibly fast healing and regenerative strengths."

Answer: "The Prince"

At the beginning of chapter 17, the Gasman seems to think he's in charge:

"'The girls can have the bed,' Gazzy said. 'Iggy and I can sleep on the floor.' 'Excuse me, sexist piglet?' I said, raising my eyebrows. 'How about the two smallest people share the bed 'cause they'll fit. That would be you and Angel.' 'Yeah,' said Nudge, with narrowed eyes. 'Like, I'm too much of a cream puff to sleep on the floor?' Gazzy got his stubborn face on, so I walked across the room before he could start arguing. Fang's hospital room was a double, but the other bed was empty. The two smaller kids would sleep in it, and the rest of us would make do. 'Of course, the prince gets his own bed all to himself,' I said to Fang. 'That's right,' Fang said hazily. 'The prince has a gaping side wound."'

Answer: "Family is extremely important"

The Voice says this to Max as she is preparing for bed:

"Now it was quiet, and I was trying to shut my brain down. 'Voice? Any last-minute remarks you want to get off your chest before I crash?' 'You chose to stay with Fang.' 'No, duh,' I replied silently... 'Family is extremely important,' said the Voice. 'Didn't you tell me that once?' 'Yep,' I thought. 'That's why we're going to find our parents as soon as we get out of here.'
