Among the Hidden
Overview & Summary
In a future society where a strict population-control law limits families to two children, Luke Garner is an illegal "third child" who has spent his entire life hidden indoors, forbidden from ever being seen -- until he spots another hidden child's face in a neighboring house and risks everything to make contact. Margaret Peterson Haddix's novel launches the Shadow Children series, a dystopian exploration of government overreach and the value of every human life.
