Max said with a precocious, sarcastic voice, but it is relatively easy to jump into her complicated tale midstream. Not surprisingly, the conclusion followed an open request, and it is also somewhat strange that a movie franchise is under construction.
With members of their band-Gazzy extraordinary abilities is the ingenuity, the maximum force and intuitive 'voice' in his head, and Angel is telepathy and ability to speak with some sea creatures useful mutants Max rescues his mother. Patterson weaves humor into the drama. In addition, mature romantic relationship with Max Fang to a level more serious than in previous books. Intimations of Apocalypse approaches, the repeated references to Max "mission to save the world", and some questions remain such as its uncertain relationship with his father, all leaves open the possibility of Irwin sequel.
