Among the Imposters

Haddix, Margaret. Among the Imposters. NY: Children’s Publishing Company, 2001. 172 pages. (Sci-Fi Series)

People are not allowed more than two children which is a problem for Luke Garner, but it was
Over when he started coming to Hendricks (a military type school,) Jen’s dad brings him too because his
Parents couldn’t hang on to him since he was illegal. His first day of school is a little rough thanks to his tour guide Roger
Until he finally gets to his room and unpacks.
Later in the evening he gets
An invitation to his own room with a couple of other guys for a meeting to get to know each other.
There he finds out that some of them are also illegal third children that could get in trouble by the Population Police.
In order to find out what happens to Luke, you’ll need to get the book and read it,
OR ELSE you will find yourself meeting the Population Police. Until
Next time, you shall read this book.

I recommend this book to anyone who likes non-real things or made up stuff, because there really is no such thing as the Population Police (except in China.) But if I were you, don’t show this book to parents because then they will think you will run away and go to a military school. Margaret Peterson Haddix has a great different variety of books, including books in a sequel of this one. So yes, I would, and if I were you I would read another book by this author.
