On The Run #1-6
On the Run Boxed Set, #1-6
15-year-old Aiden Falconer and his 11-year-old sister Meg are fugitives from justice, on the run from the FBI, the juvenile authorities, and more than 30 state and local police forces. Their parents are in maximum-security prison – framed as traitors and spies. Aiden and Meg will do anything to stay free because they’re determined to find the evidence to prove their parents are innocent!
This boxed set includes all six novels in the On the Run series; Chasing the Falconers, The Fugitive Factor, Now You See Them, Now You Don't, The Stowaway Solution, Public Enemies and Hunting the Hunter. Aiden and Meg’s incredible adventures continue with the KIDNAPPED trilogy.
Chasing the Falconers
Two kids break out of a juvenile detention center and become fugitives in order to clear their convicted parents' names in this heartstopping series from kid-read master Gordon Korman.
Aidan and Meg Falconer are their parents' only hope. The Falconers are facing life in prison -- unless Aidan and Meg can follow a trail of clues to prove their innocence.
The problem? Right now they're trapped in a juvenile detention center. Until they escape one night -- and find themselves on the run, both from the authorities and from a sinister attacker who has his own reason to stop them.
The Falconers must use their wits to make it across the country ... with plenty of tests along the way.
The Fugitive Factor
Aiden and Meg Falconer are now celebrities ... for all the wrong reasons. It's much harder to be on the run when the whole country's looking for you...
Aiden and Meg Falconer are out to find the evidence that will free their parents from a life sentence in prison. But in order to do that, they have to live undercover.
Ever since they broke out of a juvenile detention facility, they've been chased by the FBI...and by a strange killer they've nicknamed Hairless Joe. Now their story has hit the airwaves, and suddenly everyone is looking for the Falconer kids.
They think they can hide with an old family friend ... but when she turns them in and Meg is put in jail, the danger and adventure only increase.
Now You See Them, Now You Don't
One man holds the key to freeing Aidan and Meg Falconer's parents from prison: a mysterious figure named Frank Lindenauer. Aidan and Meg must cross the country to try to catch him . . . even as the FBI tries to catch them first.
In California, Aidan and Meg fall in with a crowd that already has its share of trouble going on. They want to believe they've found friends who will help them out.
But if they're not careful, these "friends" will sell them out instead.
The Stowaway Solution
Aiden and Meg Falconer are on the hunt for the one man who might be able to free their parents from jail.
The hitch?
There are plenty of other people on the hunt for THEM, including the FBI and an eerie, hairless killer.
After one close call too many, the Falconers find themselves stowed away on a ship -but the chase doesn't end there. Instead, it moves to close quarters, where every step, every breath, could get them caught.
Public Enemies
Aiden and Meg Falconer have been crossing the country as fugitives in order to prove their parents didn't commit a crime. They've been chased from state to state by the FBI . . . and by a killer they know only as Hairless Joe. Now Hairless Joe is getting closer than ever -- and the Falconers are getting even closer than that to the truth.
Hunting the Hunter
Aiden and Meg Falconer have been all across country, looking for the man who framed their parents and sent them off to life in prison. Now they've found him - and need to trap him before he gets away again.
But it isn't going to be easy. Hairless Joe is a professional killer ... and he's not about to let two kids stand in the way of his freedom.
It's the ultimate showdown - and only one side can win.
Aiden and Meg Falconer find and confront the man who could free...

Korman's style is pretty much the same between all his series. On The Run is unique in that it gets three extra installments, and additional time was certainly needed. Well-paced, if a bit vague in the details (but that goes with the territory of its premise), with resourceful protagonists who solve problems with creativity and personality. As with all of Korman's books, good for middle school, especially for kids who like adventure and feel like they don't fit in.

Summary: In this exciting series, Aiden and Meg Falconer escape from a juvenile detention center, where they have been held because the government has nowhere else to place them after their parents’ imprisonment. The two kids dodge the authorities and others who want to harm them while attempting to clear their parents’ names.

Pretty good... slightly cheesy in some parts. The plot is enough to make you want to read the next one. Recommended to 4th-7th grade.
