If you are looking for a book to read that is kind of a mystery this is the book for you. It will keep you reading it. This book is a really great book.

Summary: Like 1984 - Gives you a lot to think about
Review: This book reminds me of "1984" thought it has been twenty-some years since I read that classic. In any event, this is brought up-to-date with its inclusion of the Internet, suburbia, and farmland encroachment. Some might argue that it is overly simplistic and I had to agree and knock off one star. But how can you cover overpopulation, famine, gun control, class systems, and government fascism adequately in 1000 pages, let alone 150? This book begs to be the centerpoint of discussion in classes at the junior and senior high levels.

Summary: Among The Hidden
Review: Among The Hidden is a book that once you start reading it, you don't want to put down. It takes place in Luke's house, and in Jen's house. The time is set some time in the future; I know this because they have population police, that I will tell you about later. The author, Margaret Peterson Haddix, made this book suspenseful, and it was a great book that kept you on the edge of your seat, once it got going. Another thing that she did to make me like this book was that she introduced the characters in the beginning, or when the time was right, to make you wonder about them, and want to read on. She was descriptive when telling about the characters, and vague when whe wanted you to read some more about the characters. My opinion on this book is that it was awesome! In this setting, the government doesn't allow families to have over 2 kids, thus controlling the population. This law is kept by having police called the population police, and they threaten families about having 3 or 4 kids, saying they will come and take away the kids and kill them. some families break this law by having 3 or sometimes 4 children. One of these families is the Garner family. Luke Garner, the third child, has two older brothers;Mark and Matthew. One day luke sees a person in the new subdivision window nex door. Knowing that that family already has 2 children who had already left, Luke was immediately interested. At first glance, the person looked like a girl. Luke convinces himself to sneak out one day and go see if his suspicion was true. He snuck over and saw this girl, Jen, and she tells him about a secret plan. Will Luke carry out the plan, or think she is crazy and go home? Read to find out! Other books that Margaret Haddix wrote are: Running Out of Time, Leaving Fishers,and Don't You Dare Read This Mr. Dunphry. I would recommend this book to kids or adults. This probably wouldn't be a good book for some people as young as 8, because they wouldn't get some parts of it. So I would recommend this book to people ages 9 on up. In conclusion, I think anyone who would like a suspenseful and touching book that also has happiness and sadness mixed in would like this book.

Summary: Among The Hidden
Review: 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
Review: Among The Hidden is a suspenful and exciting book. Im from OR, United States and I have read Among The Hidden by Margaret Peterson Haddix. I think the author did a good job on the part where Luke sneaks over to Jens house and finds out that there are more third childs a lot of them. It takes place on a farm and his brothers mathew and mark get to go outside like he did but not after they cut all trees down. Now he cant go outside because of the goverment. As Luke looks out of his air vent in the attic in his bedroom he sees a head. He wonders who it is and sneaks over there. He finds a girl named Jen I fill that this book is really cool. I think Luke sounds like me and he does the things that I would do.
