Maximum Ride by James PattersonThese books are soooooo good. I could not put the first one down. I read it in a day. I haven't finished the entire series, but so far so great!!
In order the books are : The Angel Experiment, School's Out-Forever, Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports, The Final Warning, Max: A Maximum Ride Novel, and Fang: A Maximum Ride Novel (which I believe is due to be released in 2010)
Here is the description for the first book.
Six unforgettable kids-with no families, no homes-are running for their lives. Max Ride and her best friends are products of experiment: they are engineered to fly. And that's just the beginning of their amazing powers. Now they've escaped, and they need to know who made them, who's hunting them, and why they were designed to be superior to all other humans. James Patters calls Maximum Ride: "My favorite story, and probably my best."
Praise for Maximum Ride:
"The key to MAXIMUM RIDE’s success may be that it incorporates concepts familiar to young people.... What makes these characters so appealing is that they have wings and can fly.... Another plus: the book has a feel of a video game.... Fights and flights are nonstop in MAXIMUM RIDE. The writing is visual and cinematic—things that kids expect from their video games, TV cartoon shows, and action movies. And the ending leaves plenty of wiggle room for a sequel."

I'm also pretty sure, they are making this into a movie. Twilight Director, Catherine Hardwicke is rumored to be directing Maximum Ride! I really hope she does better with this one. Sorry, but I pretty much think she ruined Twilight the Movie.
