Among The Hidden
Margaret Peterson Haddix
Luke is a twelve year old boy who lives in a isolated area in the woods. Life is well until they start tearing down the nearby woods to build a new community. This usually wouldn't be too much of a problem, but Luke is a third child. In this country you are only allowed to have two children. If you do however have a third child and the population police find out, well let's just say you won't have three children anymore.
As the community gets finished all Luke does is sit in his attic and look out a little peep in the wall. He one day realizes that a house across the street from his house has a third child too, Luke ventures over to the house one day and meets the third child, her name is Jenny.
Jenny tells Luke about how she is going to attempt to overthrow the population police Luke doesn't really like the idea, and tries many times to warn Jenny not to go. But she goes anyways.
This book was very greatly written, it was full of action, cliff hangers and major plot twists. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a book series or simply a good read.
“I want to Live! Not Die, Not Hide, LIVE!”
