Sometimes in this world it's hard to know who is telling the truth, who isn't, and what can be done about all the things that are wrong. The government claims that there isn't enough food for everyone in the world, and so they have made it illegal for any family to have more than two children. Yet hundreds of these illegal shadow children exist, and they want desperately to find a place for themselves in society. But these are children who have been forced to hide their entire lives, and who are only allowed to venture out with fake IDs in their hands and fear in their hearts. How can they sort through the conflicting information about shadow children and find out where they belong? And will they be able to find the courage to defy the government and stop hiding?

Dostałam ją pod choinkę. Widziałam ją już w Empiku, ale okładka mnie odpychała. Ponieważ nie miałam co czytać, pomyślałam, że dam temu szansę. Na poczatku nie bardzo byłam co do tego przekonana, ale wraz jak akcja sie rozwijała, całkowicie pochłaniałam wyrazy i nawet zdziwiłam się, że to już koniec....
Margaret Peterson Haddix knows how to make me feel for the characters. She did this pretty well in the first book (Among the Hidden), and she does it again in this second book in the Shadow Children series. Among the Imposters once again follows Luke as one of the Shadow Children, those third (or f...
This series continues to surprise me. As the plot presents itself, Luke being sent to a boarding school under the fake name of Lee Grant and facing the loneliness, the complete change of his life, it seems fairly straight-forward. It seems predictable. It seems like nothing really extraordinary.B...
A friend told me that I had been wrongly informed and that Shadow Children indeed is one series rather than a bunch of companion novels. Naturally I couldn't let that pass without consequence, so I immediately picked up the second book in the series.I'd have to say it was just as good as the first o...
