Kidnapped by Gordon Korman

The Kidnapped series by Gordon Korman is an exciting book filled with mystery. This series follow the On the Run series. When I had first read this series I had read it on a recommendation from a friend. I had read the Kidnapped series as soon as I could, but I hadn’t read the On the Run series. So once I figured that out I made sure I read that series.

                The first book in the Kidnapped series is Abduction. In this book Meg Falconer is kidnapped for not so mysterious reasons. Since her parents are had mistakenly help out a terrorist group, they had just been proven innocent. At first they had no idea why that should influence a kidnapping, but then the lights went on and they had figured out that the kidnappers would kidnap Meg for some kind of revenge, or ransom.  Now to try and get Meg back Aiden, Meg’s older brother, has to team up with the one person who had given the Falconers all of their bad reputation. He must team up with the FBI’s Agent Harris. He was the one who put their parents in jail. He was the one who turned Aiden and Meg into fugitives, and chased them 7,000 miles. Will Aiden be able to handle it, or will he go off on his own and follow the clues only he could know. Will Meg even live through this kidnapping, since she saw the kidnapper’s faces?

                The second book is called The Search. Now that Agent Harris had been taken off of the case Agent Sorenson took his place. This could be good and bad. Good because the Falconers don’t like him. Bad because Agent Sorenson is a by-the-book kind of person.  So that really won’t help the clues that Meg is giving because only Aiden and Harris will go for them. Aiden is eventually forced to leave because nobody believes that Meg is sending clues. The only person who does isn’t on the case. Aiden has to go back to living like a fugitive if he doesn’t want to be returned to home. Will he be able to do it and succeed at finding Meg? Or will he find himself in to much trouble to handle it on his own?

                The third book is called The Rescue. In this book Meg has escaped from her captors. But she couldn’t have had worse weather to do it in. She ends up getting caught in a blizzard with two feet of snow on its way down. Meg’s parents have decided to get pay the ransom that the kidnappers want. When they go to pay they figure out that the person that they trusted may just be another person in the kidnapping? Will she get caught by the blizzard and get hypothermia? Will Meg get caught by her kidnappers again? Who could the fourth kidnapper be?

                   I totally recommend this book for anyone who wants to read a series filled with questions. It is an amazing series.
