Elating Adventure Story with Twists and Turns at Every Page
This book is a fast paced adventure story about two fugitive kids. Their parents, had just made front page headlines as convicted traitors. The sentence? Life. After the trial, Aiden and Meg Falconer, their two kids, were sent to Sunnyday Farm, a juvenile correctional facility. They escaped with their lives as Aiden accidently let a flame spread... And in this book, they are on the run from a strange killer, the FBI, Juvenial Corrections, and police departments across the country. To make it worse, their picture has been splashed all over the media nation wide; the FBI have offered a sumptous reward of $25,000 for their capture. Life on the run is tough going...

Great series of books!
My daughter (age 10) started reading this series last year and is finishing up now that we found them online. She has really enjoyed them.
She has also read a couple of the trilogy that follows (Kidnapped: The Abduction, Kidnapped: The Search, and Kidnapped: The Rescue).

Great for reluctant readers
This series by Gordon Korman worked wonders for several reluctant readers in my class. These are good fast moving books that really move you on to the next in the series.
