  1. 1. Max is very unique. She has super hearing and above all she has WINGS! When the hunters try and capture her, she escapes by flying over the fence and perching herself in the tree.
    2. Max = Birdgirl that is on the loose
    Matthew = Max's little brother
    Kit Harrison = FBI agent with PTSD
    Frannie Oneill = Female small town vet
    3. Its when you have anxiety from things that happened in the past that affected you emotionally.
    4. When Fran euthanized the doe, that means that she had to kill it so it wouldn't continue to feel pain.

  2. 1. Max is a very unique female bird girl. Max has wings. Max can also hear footsteps of the hunters when they ar very far away. So I believe Max's been genetically engineered with wings and very good hearing.
    2. Max a girl who is strong, have wings, and has very good hearing. Mathew is Max's brother, they were very close. Frannie a vet that killed a bird but saved its offspring. Kit a FBI agent that is off the force he is also tormented by his past.
    3. Post traumatic disorder is when you can't forget about the past and is tormented by it.
    4. Euthanize is medicine that put the nerves to sleep and the thing that is euthanized won't feel a thing.

    1. I was so lost about Max, I didn't know if she was just a bird or just a girl. I was really confused until I re-read the prologue and figured it out. Also why is Kit spying on Frannie and what is he really trying to find out? Thats what I would like to really know.

    1. We have to comment on someone else so I'm going to comment on Autumn. :) I see that you put Max other name. Tinker bell. I had tidally forgot about that. About Thomas though, when did he come in. Maybe I missed a page but why would he turn on his own nephew? That's tragic...

  6. 1)Max is a Half girl half Bird, I guess. So you can call it that she has an genetic disorder. she can hear very well.
    2)Max is half bird half girl, hiding in a tree from hunters, Frannie is a vet also a widow. Kit is an undercover agent for FBI, Thomas is max and Matthew's uncle, Matthew is Max little brother.
    3) A Traumatic disorder is an disorder when after something so traumatic happens, later on it still affects you like, having horrible nightmares and being paranoid.
    4) Euthanize the doe, was meaning she was putting it to rest without any pain.

  7. 1. Max is a very unique character, considering the fact that she has wings and excellent hearing ability. She can pull individual sounds out of a group, which is very impressive. So I think these traits are genetically engineered special for her to come out this way.

    2. Max is the girl hiding in the woods for the hunters, she can fly. Matthew is Max's brother, which is currently lost. Frannie is a vet whose husband was killed. Kit is a undercover FBI agent that used to have a case of Frannie's husband.

    3. Post traumatic stress disorder is a severe anxiety disorder that causes you to be paranoid and react to stressful situations differently.

    4. It means Frannie had to kill the doe to put it out it's misery. It was painless and quick.

  10. 1. Genetic engineering definitely applies to Max. Max is very unique because she has the ability to fly. She also has the ability to hear extremely well which is an ability that other people would want to have.
    2. Max is a girl who has wings and is on the run. Kit is an undercover FBI agent. Thomas is Maxes uncle & Frannie O'Neill is a vet.
    3. Post traumatic stress disorder is a disorder that causes you to get extremely upset when you think of traumatizing experiences from the past.
    4. Euthanizing the doe meant she had to kill, or put down the doe to take it out of its suffrage.

  16. Max and Matthew are siblings. They are nicknamed "Tinkerbell" and "Peterpan". Max has the ability to fly because she has a genetic mutation. She also has very good hearing. Kit is a FBI agent looking for them. Frannie and David are/were a couple. David is now dead and Frannie is the owner of the Inn.
    Post Dramatic stress disorder is when you participate in a very dangerous and scary ordeal and later on after the fact you are stressed out and scared/paranoid.
    Euthanize is a process given to put an animal to sleep (dead) without pain or hurting.

  17. Max is extraordinary she has the ability to fly and hear very well.These traits shown are clearly genetically engineered for her to turn out this way. Max is a key character and has been genetically engineered to fly and hear well. Matthew is her brother , Kit is a FBI agent , Frannie is a small town vet and Thomas is the uncle of Max and Matthew. Post Traumatic stress disorder is when you constantly stress and panic causing paranoia resulting in attacks of anxiety. When FRannie euthanized the animal she but him to sleep painlessly

      Matthew: "Peterpan" Max's brother.

      Frannie: Vet and owner of the Inn.(widow)
      David: Frannie's husband.(dead)
      3. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a severe anxiety that can develop after a traumatic evnet.
