Among the hidden by Margaret Peterson is an amazing book about a third child named Luke. The government doesn’t allow more then 2 children per family because there is not enough food. Luke is a third child whose life changes when he meets another third child named Jen. Jen is funny and jokes around slot. Soon Jen will change his life forever. My favorite part was when Luke met Jen. I recommend this book to anyone who likes suspense.

Among The Hidden by Margret Peterson Haddix is about a boy who is a third child who has to hide all his life. There is a goverment rule. If the goverment searches your house for a third child and finds them the third child would have to be killed.

Let me tell you about the book, he was a third child and hides all his life. He always dreamed about what it would be like to be free from his house.

A few days later he got out of the house and broke in to a girls house across the street and saw her and got tackled to the ground. When he saw her he thought she was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen besides his mom and became friends with her. I truly recommend this book if you love mystery and about the goverment also violence I hope you read this book and like it as much as I did!

When I first started this book I thought, what galaxy is this? Why you ask? Because you’re only supposed to have two children. The main kid, Luke, has 2 brothers, Matthew and Mark. Luke liked to play in the woods because he’s hidden. But they chopped it down for baron’s [rich people]. One day he looks out the window and sees an unusual face when all the barons leave. You’ll have to read the book to find out what happens!

The child was another third child named Jen she wanted to get out of hidding so she was going to have a riot with alot of other third children. Read the book to see if the riot is a success.

I read a book called Among The Hidden, written by Margaret Peterson Haddix. This book is a really good book. The main charitors are Jen and Luke. The government made a law that you can only have 2 children and you were not allowed to have a third or more children because the people are afraid they will run out of food. So, Luke is a third child and he already has two brothers named Mathew and Mark. His mom even wanted another son named John (get it, Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John. The books of the Bible) But after she had heard the food was scarce and you could not have a third child she got worried and already had been hiding Luke, because she did not get to have John. Luke used to get to play in their woods but the government needed their woods for some rich families named Barons. But now he can not. All of a sudden in the book this guy that’s working to build the Barons house said, “Do you have any air-conditioning?” And Luke’s dad said, “No do you think we are rich?” And the guy went away. After that Luke’s dad started hiding him more than usual. If you want to know more, you will have to read ALL the series! By the way, sorry for leaving you hanging!

It’s about a boy named Luke who is a third child who is not allowed so he has to hide all his life. Looking through his back vents, he sees something ordinary in a window. Who is it? Will Luke find out? Find out if he does or not. I recommend this book because it has a lot of sad and surprising things too. I hope you read this book because its really going to get into you!
