I really enjoyed this book. It was fast-paced and excited, and the plot wasn't overly complicated. The only thing that threw me off a bit was Meg's age, somehow I kept picturing her as older than eleven. Other than that, it was a great read that I really enjoyed. (

Book one of the On the Run series, fast-paced, action-packed and suspenseful. Brother and sister, Aiden and Meg escape juvenile detention and begin a cross country adventure in search of a picture which could prove their parents innocence. (
