Among The Hidden is by Margaret Peterson Haddix its about a family with a third child. Most places having a third child is regular and is no big deal. In the book it is against the law to have a third child. Since look is his family third child he must stay in the shadows and out of sight his whole life.One day when he was home alone while other kids were at school he saw a person in the house across the street. He started to get strange thoughts like was there some one like him out there.
The main character Luke is strong.I don't know if i could live my whole life in the house or worry about being killed one day because i was seen.When I read the book and seen how happy Luke was when he thought he wasn't the only one living a harsh life.If i was Luke i would have ran away some place far and started a new life. It's like Luke is playing a never ending game of hide and seek.It also must have hurt when he thought he found a friend and she was killed during a rally to help kids like him.
How is the third child going to live a normal life if he is being hidden from the rest of the world?
