Book Reviews of Now You See Them, Now You Don't (On the Run, Book 3)
Book Review: From parent whose child never liked to read! EXCELLENT AUTHOR!
Summary: 5 Stars
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
Summary of Now You See Them, Now You Don't (On the Run, Book 3)
The thrills intensify in the next installment of Gordon Korman's adventure ON THE RUN.
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.
