Aiden and Meg need while on the run. The characters are well balanced. Korman carefully describes the angst and discomfort Aiden feels knowing that to survive as a fugitive, he must break more laws and now belongs in the detention center he was fleeing.

I didn’t like this book because it’s very confusing to understand where they’re going. My favorite part of the book was when they escaped from Juvenile Corrections.

The descriptions were good but there were too many places. I wouldn’t recommend this book.
