Kidnapped Book Two: The Search

Korman, Gordon. Kidnapped Book Two: The Search. NY: Scholastic Inc, 2006. 138 pages. (Mystery)

Everybody wants to know, where is Meg Falconer? Aiden, Agent Harris, and Aiden’s parents, who live in Baltimore, are trying to find a lead to Meg’s kidnapping. When Meg’s kidnappers decide to move to a new hideout, she decides to leave a trail for Aiden and the FBI to follow. Every time Meg’s kidnappers stop at a rest stop, she asks to go to the bathroom. Whenever she goes into the bathroom, she clogs the toilet. When Aiden hears that there have been clogged toilets all down Route 119, he thinks it must be Meg. He tries to tell Agent Harris, but he won’t listen. He finally gives up and runs away from home to go and try to find Meg by himself. With winter coming, will Aiden and Agent Harris find Meg in time? There is one interesting thing in the story. While Meg is trying to escape, the 20-year-old kidnapper, one of the three kidnappers, lets her go because he feels bad about holding Meg hostage for so long.

I selected this book because it was the sequel to the book I read before this one. I also selected this book because I love this author and the series.
