Maximum Ride
7th April 2008
A cool new website created by Big Picture Interactive (BPI) for international bestselling author James Patterson’s new Maximum Ride book – The Final Warning has been launched.
The Maximum Ride books are massive sellers across the globe, with each of the three previous titles in the series hitting the top of the New York Times bestsellers list.
The official UK Maximum Ride website includes a great game, a competition, a forum and so much more.
The latest in a series of websites created by BPI for Random House, the site was built entirely inhouse and uses technology including ASP, PHP and MySQL, plus Flash for the engaging game.
The site also supports a range of downloads for fans of Patterson’s characters, Max and her friends, including video and audio extracts, plus teachers notes.
Deliberately constructed to allow for updates each time a new book in the series is launched, the site can be quickly reskinned to give a different look and feel each time.
Maximum Ride is currently one of the hottest properties in children’s fiction and the new site will appeal to readers of the books, allowing them to find out more about the characters and enhance their reading experience.
