Picture this--you and your sibling are walking home from school and all of a sudden, someone is attacking
you and trying to kidnap you. Then instead of taking both of you they just take your younger sibling.
Well, this happened to ex-fugitive Aiden Falconer. The FBI accused his parents of doing something illegal so
they went to jail for almost a year while Aiden and Meg were running away from the police so they wouldn’t
have to go into a temporary home. Then the FBI figured out they falsely accused the Falconers. When they got
out of jail there were a lot of people who still believed they had done something wrong. Aiden and Meg called
them Falconer-haters.
One day after school they were coming home from the bus and this van drives by slowly. They think nothing of
it, but then it stops and two people come out and start attacking them. They can’t get Aiden, so they take Meg
and drive off.
After Aiden tries to chase after the van and can’t catch it, he runs home and tells his parents. They call the
local police. Then the FBI gets involved, so they call in special agent Emanuel Harris--the same agent who
had arrested the Falconer parents in the first place. They tell the media. They hope they can find her soon!
THE ABDUCTION is great! It is the beginning of a three book series, KIDNAPPED. Gordon Korman really
knows how to write a suspenseful book and make you want to read more and more. There are so many twists
and turns, this book is sure to keep you on edge!
