Chasing the Falconers by Gordon Korman

Recommendation of the Week:

The boys and I really enjoyed reading this kiddie thriller. It's about two kids, Meg and Aidan Falconer, whose parents have been wrongly imprisoned for treason. The kids are trapped in a juvenile detention center and find themselves on the run from the authorities. In their quest for proof that their parents are innocent, they encounter setback after setback. Korman keeps the suspense going throughout, so if you have kids that enjoy a fast-paced read, get this. It's the first in a series.
