Summary: Among The Hidden Jason R.
Comment: Among The Hidden, written by Margaret Petterson Haddix is an amazing, have-to-read novel. Luke, the main character of the novel, is a shadow child, a third child and one of many.Luke is living in a time where a bad government was in control. A law was passed that allowed only two children to family.Luke's mother had him anyway. From birth, Luke had to hide from the law and from the punishment of death.Among The Hidden is an excellent book. I'm picky about my books yet I loved it.Being that it was an adventure book, there were many exciting parts. Though I found the most exciting part of the book, was when Luke snuck over to Jen's house. The worst part was the long introduction in the beginning, which had no action at all. This
book is appropriate for grades 5-6 and both girls and boys will like it. If I could change something it would be the ending...

Summary: Among The Hidden
Comment: I thought that Among the Hidden was an exciting and interesting book. Margaret Peterson Hadddix, the author of Running Out of Time, has come up with a new idea. Among the hidden is unlike any other book I have ever read.I especially liked how discreipted the book was when it talked about the setting. And how you could picture what his house looked like. Luke Garner is a shadow child. He has never been allowed to see anyone except his immediate family. His grandparents don't even know that he exists. He has been hiding all of his life from the Population Police, the poeple who would kill him. "Stay inside".That was what his family told hm all the time.Luke wass illegal because he was a third child.His family already had two other children.But when the trees around his house are taken down, Luke can't even go into the living room for fear that someone might see him throught the window.He is forced to stay upstairs in his tiny attic bedroom.His only way to see the outside world is a small vent leading outside. But one day Luke sees a girl's face in the window of a house that he knows two boys already live at.Luke knows that he is seeing another shadow child.But Jen, the girl next door, is willing to give her life to get out of the shadows.Should Luke join her plan for freedom?Can he afford to? I think that Among the Hidden is a very unique and interesting book.It is full of suspense.

Summary: Among the Hidden
Comment: Among the Hidden is about a boy named Luke. Luke is a third child. In this book a third child is illegal. Luke is not allowed to do anything except read or take a nap in his room, which is in his attic. Luke has to hide all the time. One day, when he looked outside, he saw a face in a house where he knew two kids already lived. Luke goes to meet this person. Now he has to make a decision to follow this person's plan or to not follow.
I think this book is super. All the time I was reading Among the Hidden it kept me thinking. When Luke was in dangermy heart kept pounding and I felt worried for him. What was going to happen next in the story? For instance, could Luke make it to a third child's house?
This book is great for people who don't like a lot of action. When I was reading this book I was really fascinated. Because of all the desperate measures he takes all the time. For instance, he was taking all the precautions to make bread and clean up the entire kitchen.
So if you read Among the Hidden you will really like it.
