About This Item

Among the Hidden (Shadow Children Series, Book #1) by Margaret peterson Haddix

Luke is a "shadow child" -- a third son in a society that allows only two children per family -- and the penalties for breaking the Population Law are severe. Luke has learned to hide, but when a new housing development replaces the woods next to his family's farm, he is no longer even allowed to go outside. He spends every day alone in his attic room -- until he sees a girl's face in the window of a house where he knows two children already live.

Meeting Jen opens a new world to Luke. Jen is connected via the internet to other shadow children, and is planning a rally to enable thirds like her and Luke to take their place in society. Luke is excited by the hope that Jen holds, but can a twelve-year-old successfully challenge a totalitarian regime?

In this thought-provoking page-turner, Margaret Peterson Haddix looks at one possible not-so-distant futuer -- and its impact on the human spirit.
