Summary: I lOVe Ish!
Review: I have read all of the books in the series, and I love them all! I didn't find any parts boring, but that's cuz I can relate really easily. The boring parts for people are usually when Haddix spends time on describing the characters feelings. First I would like to say to ferretclaw that claimed that this book is offending the country. No where in this book does it say that it is in America. Also to the mother who said that her son was scared of being taken away or killed. It's possible that he may just be a senstitive reader. I know lots of people who are the same, or about the same age, who don't have a problem about it. I am 12, and I have a friend who is 11, and we both adore this series.

Summary: A great book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Among the Hidden takes place in the future. It's about a kid named Luke. He is a 3rd child. In the time when Luke lived 3rd children were illegal. Luke has to stay hidden from every one except his family. When a new family moves next door Luke sees a face in the window. That girl was a 3rd child like himself Luke. Luke goes and meets the girl of next door.
The characteristic of Luke is gutsy. His characteristic of Luke is gutsy b/c he goes out of the house even though it's dangerous.
The genre is science fiction. The author did a good job in the beginning b/c we would ask ourselves why is Luke hiding as a 3rd child.
The authors style is that it makes yourself ask questions after you read. I felt very excited b/c I wouldn't know what would happen next. I would recommend to anybody I know especially people who like suspenful science fiction books.

Summary: Among the Hidden
Review: Among the Hidden is a science fiction book written by Margaret Peterson Haddix. Luke is the main character in this book. He is a third child. In this book if you are a third child, well you aren't. All third children are to be killed because of the food rations. Luke is not allowed to leave the house, eat in the kitchen with the rest of his family, or even meet other people. One day Luke is looking out of his attic room and he sees a face. What could that be he wonders. everyone else in that house is gone. It must be a third child he says. So one day he is brave enough to go to that house and meet the child while everyone is gone. He meets a crazy, but fun and loving girl named Jennifer, or Jen. Theyu have a lot of fun together, they even eat junk food which is illegeal. Jen wants to start a rally with other third children she knows. They decide to go to the Presidents house early in the morning and start the rally. Luke sya sit is not safe and doen't go, of course Jen and her friends do. They are all killed. Luke feels terrible. But when Luke meets Jen's dad for the first time... things change. Jen's dad gives Luke a fake I.D. Luke lives a normal live after that. he lives on a farm, where no people live until the new housing developement is built. The theme in this book is probably standing up for what's right. In this book Luke know's he should go to the rally, but he doesn't want to get killed. After he gets his fake I.D. he decides he will stop this horrible law a little bit at a time. I did not like the story too much because I do not like science fiction. If you like science fiction then you would like this book.

Summary: Review
Review: Brian H.Among the Hidden
By: Margret Peterson Haddix
ISBN: 0-689-82475-0 'Open up population police'! That's from one part of Among The Hidden. In Among The Hidden the main Character is a boy named Luke that has to hide in his house because he is a third child and that is illegal in the book so if any of the population police find him they will get big rewards and he will probably be killed. Luke mainly hides in his attic but he dose go to Jen's house which is another third child. This book takes place in the future but not way in the future like lots of things in the future.
I found this book very good and exciting. It seemed like there was always something that there was a reason that made me keep wanting to read. I would say this is a definite page turner and I would recommend this book to any one that likes sci-fi of any age. It is not very hard to read but I wouldn't recommend it to little kids unless they are good readers because it will be hard for them to read. The author made it very easy to connect with Luke because she told so much about him and you found out even more through out the book. I found this a great book.

Summary: What would you do?
Review: What would you do I f you weren't allowed outside, to a friends house, to the mall, or anywhere at all? Well that was how life was for Luke Garner, the main character in the great novel, Among the Hidden. This was a very fun-to-read book. It was full of fun and surprises. It was a definite page-turner. I really enjoyed reading this book! Well he is what the book is about. It's about boy named Luke Garner having to hide his whole life because of the population law that doesn't allow a family to have more then 2 children. Well lucky for Luke he happened to be the third child so he had to go into hiding. Luke and his family lived on a farm in the forest. Since they lived in the forest Luke would sometimes go outside to play a little or help out at the farm. But when his family is forced to sell their wood so that the government can build new houses Luke is no longer allowed outside or even at the dinner table. So Luke spends most of his time in the attic, which is his room, and reads, day dreams, or does nothing at all. But one day, while Luke was looking out his vents, he swear he saw a face peer from the window of the house next door, when every one from that house had left and he knew there was already four people living there. So he decided to go investigate him self. So your going to have to read the book to find out what Luke does and what happens. I would have to say that my favorite character would have to be Luke for sure because Luke is a very brave boy and a very honest because he has to deal with hiding from the population police and having nothing to do at all and nothing to look forward to and he is honest because he doesn't tell a lie when he meets Jen or to his parents. My favorite part was when Luke decides to sneak over to the house and find out if there is another third child besides him. I recommend this book to any one who like adventure books. It will keep you turning pages and you won't want to put it down, trust me you won't want to. So I hope you read and enjoy this great novel!

Summary: AMONG THE HIDDEN
Review: ISBN 0-689-82475-0 What would you do if you were just born and had already broken the law? This fantasy-adventure type book is all about Luke and his life as a 3rd child. In this book, each family is only allowed to have two kids per family because of food, money, etc. Luke has 2 brothers that help his dad work on the farm a couple of acres from the house. At the begginning of the book, Luke's mom has no job, she stays home and makes sure Luke is not seen by the population police. Later in the book, his farm loses their pigs that, made most of their food, so Luke's mom had to get a job, leaving Luke all alone at the house. While all this is going on at Luke's house, in the middle of forests, a neighborhood is being built, causing Luke to be extra careful around windows or and spot of sunlight. One day when his mom was gone, Luke counted 28 people leave the new neighborhood (28 people made up the whole neighborhood), he looked around to make sure no one at all was there so he can go outside and play when he spots a face looking out a window. He panics. He's thinking is this another third child like me? Or is it a robber? Which is it? Read the book to find out what that face was and how much it affects Luke's life. This book was excellent. To be honest, I would recommend this book to just about any kid around the age of 11-15. Anyone that enjoys reading, read it for fun. Anyone who has a book report, read this book. This book was a real page turner. I am not a very fast pace reader, but this book only took my like 5 days and like 40 minutes a day, not even that much time to finish a good book like this one. I really could not put the book down because every time I was like "Oh, I'll stop at this chapter," but I could not because the end of the chapters just left you hanging thinking what's going to happen, I gotta find out.

One day he decides to look out the vent of the attic to see the neighbor hood being bulit next to his farm, he counts the people and since the population law prohibits more than 2 children per family finds that there are only 28 people in the neighbor hood thinks he is able to moves around the house instead of staying in the attic all day. One day upon looking out the vent counting the people see's another face in the house next to his farm wich already has 4 people, could it be another 3rd child like him? Could there be a whole world full of 3rd children like him? You'll have to read the book to find out.

Summary: Loved it! Can't Wait to read the next book!
Review: This is one of the best books I've ever read! I couldn't put it down. It's about a future timeframe when people can only have two kids. If they have more than two...well, you'll have to read it to find out. Anyway, this family has a third child and he has to hide all the time. Eventually, he meets another kid who is also a third child. It's kind of sad. I can't wait to read the next book in the series. I love this author. This is the fourth book of hers that I have read and they are all 5 star books! Among the Hidden was voted the best book of the year by my classroom.
