Summary: The best book I ever read
Review: This book makes you think. It's not the type you read and forget about. The events that happen are so incredible and suspenseful you can't put it down. Once you've finished, there's that voice saying read it again. I listened. So did many of my classmates. One kid got the sequal and brought it to school. 10 kids (plus or minus a few) asked him to borrow it. For that many kids in one classroom to like the book that much, it must have been an unforgettable book. Boy, was it ever. Luke, a third child in a society where only 2 children are permitted, is "among the hidden." He mustn't look out windows or go outside in fear he will get sent to the POPULATION POLICE. All the woods around his house are now being cut down. New houses are being built in place. That means people- watching. One day, disobeying his parents will, he looks outside the window finding a child; in a house that already has two children. Luke leaves the house for the first time in six months. Surprisingly, it was a girl. Now, Luke has a friend, Jennifer Rose Talbot. When their parents leave for word, they visit eachother. One day, while Jen was in a chatroom, she came up with an idea to hold a rally. About 800 third and fourth kids said they'd come. ONLY 40 SHOWED UP. The rally went on, but Luke didn't. He was too scared. Lucky for him, as the children marched, the Government took our their guns. They shot everyone dead- right then and there. In the end, Luke gets a fake ID. Lee Grant, a young boy died. The government doesn't know yet. Luke leaves his home and family. Now, he has all the rights and priveleges all people SHOULD have, like school. He will attend an all boy's school. That's where it ends.

Summary: looked promising, but...
Review: this book was on the list for required reading for my school. i found it to be a little childish for me. i was at first excited about the detail that could have been put into the subject matter, and i thought maybe the book would be like the giver, a favorite of mine. i did not think luke, the third child forbidden by law, had a strong enough personality. the ending was quite boring, and i found the book to be without many details that could have made it more exciting.

Summary: Among the Hidden
Review: I think Among the Hidden was an excelent book. The author, Margaret Peterson Haddix, had a good idea of what might happen in the future. Although I did not have the same point of view, she told her's in an excelent way. This book made me feel happy, sad, and was filled with suspence. It was probably one of the best books I have ever read. Just to let you know how good the book was, when I gave it for my teacher to see she wouldn't give it back till she finished it. When I read it I could not put it down.

Summary: 14 Year Old Reader
Review: This was an excellent book! It was about a law that said that people could only have two kids. If they had anymore they would be killed and the parents would be punished. This couple had 3 boys. They hid the youngest one in the attic for several years. They lived in a forest like area, but then people came and cut down the forest to build houses. One day when he was looking into one of the new houses he saw a young girl. He knew this family already had 2 kids, so this girl must have been one like him, a third child. Eventually he goes over to the house and meets the girl. They decide to have a rally/protest at the white house. They go on the internet and find other third children to help. The boy doesn't go with, and thats a good thing because all the rest were killed. This is a great book. The sequel Among the Imposters is just as good. I reccommend this book to teens and some adults. 5 stars * * * * *!

Summary: I really enjoyed Among the Hidden.
Review: Every night when I was reading it, my parents had to make me put down the book and go to sleep or I would have been up all night. My favorite part was when Luke went over to his neighbor’s house and found out what happened to Jenny then the Population Police showed up. I think this book is perfect for all ages. If you’re thinking about reading this book, don’t waste a second. This is one of the best books I’ve read and I hope you read it to.

Summary: A review
Review: Among the Hidden created a feeling of what it was like to be hidden from society and all other people beyond your immediate family. Many of the feelings of Luke Garner, the illegal third child, are portrayed vividly in response to the events that occur to him. Emotions of a person that has hidden from everyone besides a few people for all his life are depicted very accurately. Plot in this story is finely detailed and very intriguing. However, some of the events are predictable and not surprising. Nevertheless, those events are only exceptions, and most of the story is not the case. Much suspense is existent in this story, with the excitement of how Luke manages to stay hidden from the government even with the dangers and risks that he takes. Overall, this book is very good.

Summary: It's Only The Beginning
Review: A long time ago, couples can only have 2 children. Luke, a third child, lives with his two older brothers and his parents, somewhere hidden in the woods. Luke's parents made him think that he is special. He wanted to go to school and learn or to see and talk to other people but instead, he has to hide from all of them just for a reason he does not know and understands. They supposedly live there because of Luke. Luke has disadvantages compared to his older brothers, Matthew and Mark. Basically, Luke does not get to be exposed in public or cannot go out and his brothers could. He could go outside to play but he may not go in public. Now that houses are being built near his family's farm he wasn't eligible to go outside anymore. At first, he was curious about why cant he go out. It's been a struggle for his mom to tell him but she managed to. Luke's family lived far away from other people. The next house closest to his is about 3 miles apart. Luke is an intolerable child to the population police, people who make sure that families are a family of four and not five like Luke's... This is only the beginning. Ever wonder what will happen to Luke if he gets caught? Personally, I would recommend this book for a person who has concerns for everyone and is very considerate of others. I gave this book 4 stars for its topic that made me think about respect and consideration.
