Summary: Among the Hidden-a great book.
Review: My teacher read this book to my fifth grade class. It is about a a boy named Luke, who has lived his whole life hiding because people who live where he does are only allowed to have three children. A third child should be gotten rid of. No one exept his family even knows he exists! One day, when Luke is disobeyingly looking out a vent, he sees a different face in a house that he knows two other children already live. So he risks a lot to go and see if it's true that there is another third child like himself. I won't tell you more because I don't want to give away such a great story, but I will tell you that this book will keep you reading and reading in a suspensful manner. Believe me, Among the Hidden is a GREAT book!

Summary: How Many More Risky Troubles Are There Going To Be Anyway?
Review: Among the Hidden by Magaret Peterson Haddix is a wonderful realistic fiction book with Luke as the main character. Although this thoughtful and confident boy is poor, he is always aiming to let all shadow children, including himself come out of the shadows to live like a normal kid. However, he believes reaching his goal does not mean sacrificing his life while Luke's only friend decides to take a dangerous risk, just to become legal! No matter what, this powerful kid will never halt in his way towards his goal.
Living deep in the woods, Luke is a shadow child forbidden by the Population Police. With more families moving in the neighborhood and becoming Luke's neighbor, this miserable kid realized that he has to hide forever! That is, until he spotted a disconsolate face from a house where two mighty boys already lived. "Can that child be another third child?" Luke ran this thought over and over again in his mind making him more and more curious. A bright plan suddenly popped out into his head. After this detective reached that mysterious house, Luke made a shadow friend called Jen; a crazy girl who will risk anything to become normal. When our boy heard about Jen's breathtaking idea marching up the president and asking for freedom, Luke immediately refused to go. Although all the other children like him were shot by a gang of president guards, this main character received a fake I.D. from Jen's dad and completed his goal of being able to go anywhere, without trouble.
With Luke risking his life visiting Jen's house everyday almost everyday and Jen deciding to march up the president, who knows what will happen next? This exciting and dangerous book is filled with risks, a story I highly recommend. Magaret Peterson Haddix never ends the adventure, always shooting troubles at Luke, it's a must read! A reader who is waiting for some excitement can do no better than to put their nose into this breathtaking book!!

Summary: A good read
Review: This is a futuristic look at an America that is forced to make a population law (think of today's China). Luke is an illegal third child and must stay in hiding. He has mixed feelings about this and when he meets a third child from his new next-door neighbors, his feelings become even more mixed.A novel that should be read.

Summary: An Excellent Read
Review: Among the Hidden was an excellent book. It captures the imagination of children and adults everywhere. I must say it starts out kind of slow but eventually becomes exciting. It becomes exciting when the actual plot begins after a few chapters. The back of the book was what caught my intrest in it. I would recommend you read the back of the book for a short summary of it. If you don't have a wild imagination, I recommend you don't read this book. If you are a person with a wild imagination, hold on tight and get ready for the craziest laws you can imagine. One of which is you are not aloud to have more than two children and if you, you must keep them well "Hidden" because if you don't, you will suffer horrible consequences from the government! This was an excellent read and I recommend it for children AND adults with wild imaginations everywhere!

Summary: Disgusting
Review: A disgusting portrayal of the United States being overtaken by a madman and his abscene population limitation laws, after a series of impossible yet disasterous events. Anyone who has a strain of patriotism will be at least slightly annoyed. Book follows the life of a twelve year old boy who is "hidden" by his parents so that the population police, who enforce the law that demands only two children per family. I read it in under an hour. What a bad a novel.********Here is my theory: if you are reading this, you like this sort of book and were looking to find a favorable review about it. People only listen to what they like to hear; thus the amount of people who found this review helpful.

Summary: Among the Hidden By: Margaret Peterson Haddix
Review: I like all kinds of books. They have to grab my attenton. The book "Among The Hidden" grabbed my attention. When I read the first couple pages I knew I would like it a lot. I couldn't put it down.
In the book "Among the Hidden" the main character is Luke. He is a third child and he lives on a farm. The government madde a law that says any third child born must be killed because the world is over populated and there isn't enough food to feed everybody. Luke's mom and dad have Luke after having his two older brothers. Now Luke has to hide when the population police come too look for any third children. Outside Luke's houde a forest. Luke is only alloweda few minutes a day to go out in the forest where the population police or anyone else can't see him. The government decided to cut down the forest to build more houses. Now Luke can't go outside anymore.Luke needs to stay in his house with the shades pulled down so the new neighbors don't see him. Luke gets the courage to go explore the neighbors houses while there kids are at school and the parents are at work. Luke timed it perfectly and when he goes to one of the neighbors houses and he finds another third child.
There are a lot of other books Margaret wrote. She wrote two sequels to the book "Among The Hidden". They are called "Among The Imposters" and "Among The Betrayed". I read those two books also and I couldn't put them down either. T am now looking for more books by Margaret Peterson Haddix. Idefinitely rate this book 5 stars out of 5. This book is Amazing!!!

Summary: Among the Hidden
Review: Among the Hidden was a very good book. I like that he wants to be more like his family. Instead of hiding he wants to explore to see if there is any more shadow children. He tries to be very sneaky, to see if there is any more shadow children. I like that his family tries to be very careful of what they do with him. This book is good because it gives a lot of details. It gives you all you need to know. I would recommened this book to anyone. Who likes fiction books. I really liked this book the day I read this story. This is the best book I ever read.
