About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels like they have to solve big problems alone or when they are navigating a difficult family situation that feels out of their control. The third installment in the On the Run series, it follows siblings Aiden and Meg as they stow away on a cargo ship to avoid the FBI and a deadly assassin. While the plot is a fast-paced thriller, the heart of the story lies in the unwavering loyalty between siblings and their desperate hope to clear their parents' names. Appropriate for ages 9 to 13, this book offers a safe space to explore themes of resilience, justice, and the heavy weight of responsibility. It is particularly resonant for children dealing with parental absence or incarceration, as it validates their desire to take action. Parents will appreciate how the Falconers rely on their wits and teamwork rather than superpowers to survive impossible odds.
