This review is from: The Search (Kidnapped, Book 2) (Paperback)

In the sequel to Abduction (Kidnapped), the Falconers and the FBI are still frantically searching for Meg. It has been a little over a week since she was kidnapped and Aiden is getting restless. He hasn't slept, he's barely eaten, and a new agent has just been assigned to the case.

After the FBI got very close to getting Meg back, the kidnappers decide to move her to a new location. The new location is nearly impossible to find. But Meg doesn't give up hope. She is still planning to escape.

When a mysterious incident happens, Aiden is sure that it's a sign that Meg was sending him. But Agent Sorenson thinks otherwise. So Aiden decides to take matters into his own hands and go search for Meg on his own. This results in many run-ins with the law. Find out exactly what kind by reading this excellent book.

THE SEARCH, like the first book in the KIDNAPPED series, was an incredible thriller! Gordon Korman really knows how to write a story that will keep you guessing every time. I recommend this book to anyone who likes adventures. I think this book deserves five stars because it is action-packed and full of realistic details. It's almost like you are there!

5.0 out of 5 stars i can't wait for the next one!, July 5, 2006

This review is from: The Search (Kidnapped, Book 2) (Paperback)

wow! i just finished reading this book minutes ago and i am impressed. it fits perfectly with Kidnapped: The Abduction and still has the same suspense and action, possibly more. In this book, meg has many near-escapes from her kidnappers and aiden continues to find clues about meg's wherabouts that seem far-fetched, but are actually true. there are countless times where you think something is going to happen, but it turns out completely differently. that's why i like this book; it keeps you guessing, and i really couldn't put i down! finished in about an hour and a half. I can't tell you what happens in the end, but i'll tell you this much: its unexpected (as usual for these books) and it's going to leave you craving for the last book of the series!

This review is from: The Search (Kidnapped, Book 2) (Paperback)

In this second book of the "Kidnapped", we are now in the center of the kidnapping of Meg Falconer. She has escaped and been recaptured multiple times, all the while leaving clues that only her brother Aiden could understand.
This is an extremely exciting series, and I couldn't stop myself from reading it. Anyone from fourth grade to high school could easily enjoy these books.
