Among The Hidden

Naddix, Margaret. Among the Hidden. New York: Simon & Schuster Children’s Publishing Division, 1998. 153. (Sci-Fi Series)

Luke is the main character in the book Among The Hidden, by Margaret Peterson Haddix. Luke is a third child and he has to hide from the population police. The population police will take Luke away if they found him. Luke has two brothers that are able to go school and go to town. This story takes place in Luke’s neighborhood. Luke has to stay in the attic every day to hide from the houses that have been put up next to his house.

Six months after the houses are put up Luke sees a face in the sports family’s house that already has two children. Luke makes a plan to get in the house and meet the other third child. When he gets in he breaks threw the screen door and gets in and sees another girl at a computer. Who is she? Another third child? Read to find out!
I would recommend this book for someone to read because it was suspenseful and the book kept you guessing what was going to happen next. I would read another book by this author.
