Hi my name is Abel

In 2012 was when I read Chasing the Falconers, and from that day I fell in love with the series. and then I read the kidnapped series and it was quite a thrill to read. I'm a big fan of the Falconers and the series On the Run and Kidnapped. I had 2 questions and I'm hoping you could answer.

The first question is have you considered writing another series involving the Falconers Aiden and Meg in a different setting like today with another adventure? I would really like to read that but who knows.

The second is a bit silly but here goes: What do you think the Falconers are doing now in 2024? What have they been up to since Meg was rescued? Careers? Married? How are their relationships with the other characters like their parents, Agent Harris, etc. like their status in 2024 if you know what I mean.

Thank you for the series these books were the only ones I ever read when I was young thank you. Have a wonderful day Mr Korman.

Hi, Abel,

What a nice letter, both versions. I can only say thank you. Of all my books, I think that series was my favorite, but it didn't get much traction with the general public. I guess keeping track of 9 books was a bit of a chore.

The Falconers today, some 19 or 20 years after they appeared? NOT a dumb question. A question that shows how devoted you were to my characters. That really pleases me! I'm pretty sure Aiden would be a lawyer, devoted to the justice system. And Meg? She's in Congress, same devotion. Meg would be married, and Aiden engaged. They're still close to their parents -- after such an experience in childhood, that's natural. As for Harris, he's retired from the Bureau, and works for Aiden's law firm as an investigator. Due to their shared experiences, they're close and devoted to each other.

How's that? I don't think there will be more. If anything happens with the series, Scholastic might decide to turn it into a graphic novel series. That would give the story new life, at least.

Thanks again for posting, Abel. Your support for the series means a lot to me.

Best regards, -----Gordon Korman-----
