SHADOW CHILDREN
Luke has never been to school. He's never had a birthday party, or gone to a friend's house for an overnight. In fact, Luke has never had a friend.
Luke is one of the shadow children, a third child forbidden by the Population Police. He's lived his entire life in hiding, and now, with a new housing development replacing the woods next to his family's farm, he is no longer even allowed to go outside.
Then, one day Luke sees a girl's face in the window of a house where he knows two other children already live. Finally, he's met a shadow child like himself. Jen is willing to risk everything to come out of the shadows -- does Luke dare to become involved in her dangerous plan? Can he afford not to?

In fact, Luke has never had a friend. Luke is one of the shadow children, a third child forbidden by the Population Police.

Jen is willing to risk everything to come out of the shadows--does Luke dare to become involved in her dangerous plan? Can he afford not to? Following the futuristic storylines of "1984" and "Brave New World" comes "Among the Hidden". Luke is a third child in a family with already two boys. This is breaking a decree established by the government. He's successfully hidden in his parent's home without discovery for 12 years, but a stray glimpse through an air vent reveals his prohibited existence. Does this spell freedom from secrecy?

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. Luke is a "Shadow Child" -- a third son in a society that allows only two children per family -- and the penalties for breaking the Population Law are severe. Luke has learned to hide, but when a new housing development replaces the woods next to his family's farm, he is no longer even allowed to go outside. He spends every day alone in his attic room -- until he sees a girl's face in the window of a house where he knows two children already live. Meeting Jen opens a new world to Luke. Jen is connected via the internet to other shadow children, and is planning a rally to enable thirds like her and Luke to take their place in society. Luke is excited by the hope that Jen holds, but can a twelve-year-old successfully challenge a totalitarian regime? In this thought-provoking page-turner, Margaret Peterson Haddix looks at one possible not-so-distant future -- and its impact on the human spirit.
