At a time in the future, when having more than two children is illegal, 12-year-old Luke Garner is third born, a shadow child—his very existence punishable by death.
He spends his whole life hiding and knows only his immediate family and their small farm.
When a new housing development is built near his family’s home, Luke is forced into even greater secrecy, spending days and nights in his attic room. But after catching a glimpse of someone in one of the new houses, Luke is sure he’s found another third child.
When he discovers Jen, as bold as Luke is timid, she makes Luke imagine a life of freedom. But at what cost?
Among the Hidden, an ALA Best Book for Young Adults and a classroom favorite, is Margaret Peterson Haddix’s outstanding novel for middle readers.
“ ... the unsettling, thought-provoking premise should suffice to keep [listeners] hooked.”—Publishers Weekly
