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?

A Good Book... But Good Things Have Weaknesses
Before I begin, I will say that this WAS a good book.
The basic plot is that Luke Garner lives in a world where he, along with a few other children, are unwelcomed. It takes place in a future where humans are sucking the life out of the planet, and it is too overpopulated. This leads to a ban of all children born after the second.
That is the VERY basic plot. Read to find out the rest.
Upsides -
The plot is fresh and new.
Interesting and believeable characters.
Good "what if" picture.
Downsides -
Some plot elements overused.
Second half seems rushed.
First few chapters are rather depressing.
There you have it. The best and worst of Among the Hidden. Will I read the next book in the series? Oh yes. Let's pray that the next installment was tweaked for the better.

A Great Start to a Magnificent Series
Awesome! More than awesome! There's no word for this book. This is one of the best books I've ever read, and I've read about 300 books. No wonder it got an award. Luke Gardener, an illegal third child, is the main character of this book. If you want to get more information, read the book!
