6/10/11 ** Day 14, Book 17 ** Wow. This has been on my 'to read' mental list for months. If you haven't yet read it, do so now!Luke is a 'shadow child,' or one of the illegal 3rd children born to a family. Early in the book we discover that Luke has never been to school, never had friends over, a...
Beautifully written story and full of emotional impact. While it's aimed at children between the ages of 8-12, the themes revolving around the story in "Among the Hidden" are those that are those that will stay with you. Luke is one among several "shadow children", a third child born where familie...
Officially, Luke Garner doesn't exist. Unofficially, he does, but families aren't allowed any more than two children, so the third Garner son is confined mostly to the attic.

It is set in a world where only two children are allowed to each family, supposedly because there are too few resources to support any larger a population, though it is unclear at this ...
I've seen kids with their noses GLUED into this series, and I can now understand why! This is the first of a series, and ends in such a cliffhanger that you must run out and buy the next one in the series. It's the story of Luke, a shadow child, a third child born into a world where the Population...
I read this book in high school about 11 years ago and I still think about it when i see families with three or more children! It really resonated with me!
The issue faced by the characters in the book, that of overpopulation and what to do about it, is an important one, and deserves to have a children's book written about it.
