| Now You See Them, Now You Don't (On the Run, Book 3) by Scholastic Great Series, fast paced | | My 10-year-old loves this series, and has hooked her 12-year-old sister in to it, too. I've read some of the books out loud to the kids and they are fun, fast, and clean. Great suspense of a very appropriate nature for young readers. I would recommend these books to anyone. | | Now You See Them, Now You Don't (On the Run, Book 3) by Scholastic 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. | | Now You See Them, Now You Don't (On the Run, Book 3) by Scholastic These are very good books.. | | I started reading these books about 5 months ago. I got the very first book(chasing the Falconers) at a book sale at my school. I though this book would be plain just like any other book, but when I finished the first book I was already reading the second. On the Run is the best series of books I have ever read. I love these books because they are just right for my age and they are so interesting and fun to read! They are also loaded with action! Gordon Korman is a very good Author and I love to read his books. I have just finished the second book and im going to order the third(now you see them now u dont) and the fourth(the stowaway solution). I cant wait to read them and im so excited! I cant wait for u to come out with your sixth book!! | | Now You See Them, Now You Don't (On the Run, Book 3) by Scholastic On The Run: Now You See Them, Now You Don't | Aiden and Meg Falconer are trying to prove their parents' innocence. Unfortunately, they have the world against them. They have nick-named one man "Hairless Joe." He is out to kill Aiden and Meg Falconer, and they have no clue why. They narrowly escape his attacks but the police capture Meg. Luckily, Aiden comes up with a plan and rescues Meg. As they are running, they meet up with some new friends who help them hide.
I love this book! Once you start reading you can't stop. The main characters act off each other, which makes the story more interesting. My favorite part of the story was when the FBI caught Meg Falconer. The day after Meg's capture, Aiden sneaks into the place where Meg is being held. He dresses up as a police officer and walks Meg out of the building where they keep running. I highly recommend this book. It's one of the best books I have ever read!
| | Now You See Them, Now You Don't (On the Run, Book 3) by Scholastic From parent whose child never liked to read! EXCELLENT AUTHOR! | I actually wrote to this author which basically states my review. The author wrote back immediately, I will include his reply as well. Generally speaking, if your child does not like to read it's because of his confidence or ability to read and comprehend. I have never found an author who can boost the interest for my child to read with an action packed, mysterious, funny, suspenseful, and on the edge adventures, combined into one storyline. My son truley cannot put the books down till he is finished and then begs me to go get the next. I don't have to tell him to read, I actually have to ask him to stop so he can do ther things he has to do. Here are the emails - this author should be PUBLICIZED better - he does not get the recoginizition he deserves.
Hi Mr. Korman,
My son is in 6th grade and has never liked reading. I've bought him every type of book from EVERY author possible,(including joke books etc...) to motivate him for many years and have had no luck. As you know, reading is the most important part of education, therefore he has been struggling in many areas for years. Then I found your books this year and was very impressed myself. I started my son with the "On The Run" series this year and he loves them! Best of all, his skills and grades have increased dramatically!! He has to write a written report on each book he completes in the series. There is one question the teacher expects my son to answer, which is, "what message does the author send? and what have you learned?" My son's answer is "to speak up from the beginning", which I think is to vague and not even really a correct answer. I'm stumped every time we get to this question, especially considering I am an adult, my answer would lead to government corruption/failure to provide due process, etc... basically, not appropriate comments from a child.
I know you are very busy but if you could please email me the message you feel you give.. I would greatly appreciate it. I don't know if anyone has ever thanked you for being an author, but I cannot thank you enough for the positive impact you've had on my son's education, and FINALLY, his love for reading!!!
REPLY from author:
Hi, Jessica. I'm glad your son has taken off as a reader with ON THE RUN. Does he know KIDNAPPED? That's my latest series about Aiden and Meg Falconer.Message is kind of a tough thing to come up with. Generally speaking, it's not a priority for me. I prefer to focus on story and character. But if there's a message to my books about the Falconers, it would have to be something like "never give up when you know you're right." Thanks for getting in touch with me. I'm thrilled your son is a fan.
All the best,
Gordon Korman
