OMG THIS IS THE BEST BOOK EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The book Among The HIdden is a book in the series Haddix and is written and illustrated by Margaret Peterson. This book is about a kid named Luke and he has never been to school or even out of the house. Infact he’s known as a shadow children, a third children wasn’t allowed by the government and he spent his entire life hiding. But then one day he met another shadow children and is willing to risk everything to come out of the shadow. I like how the author explained everything with so much details, if he hadn’t we would be comused and wouldn’t understand the plot. I would recommend this book to anything from grade 5 or above.
It was good but at the end it got really sad. so if you don't like sad endings don't read it.
I completly agree

I'm on page 85 right now I spent two hours last weak reading it I wish they would make among hidden like the return of among the hidden
really good books
I think this book is really interesting. It is about a world were the population policies declear that there could be only 2 children per family. The main character, Luke, is the third child or the Garner family. He was told to hide under the whole, live in a world like he doesn't exist. He wants to go out, and when he found out that their neighbor also had hidden a third child. He made his way to their house and the girl, Jen told Luke about different things about the world, and how she always wants to change it. As the story goes further, Jen managed a rally about the rights of third child. However, Luke was too afraid to go. Later on in the end of the story, Luke started another new journey by stepping out from his comfort zone, and he slowly discover the truth that Jen did not understand..... I think this book is really good and intersting because it tells the struggle between Luke's existance and his wanting to discover the world. It makes me want to read next book because it is well described about how the Government strict about the existance of third child, and how a kid as a third child start his new life. Overall I recommend children age of 9 - 14 to read this because I think this would be a great book to read during spare time.
I love this series. It's always been one of my all time faves. I wish it was real though, because a lot of mean kids would be dead. XD
Luke had many challenges and difficulties to face. It was a good book that I enjoyed. I recommend to read it.
This is a really cool and suspenseful book. It well really get you interested if you like mystery and suspense. I really recommend this book.
