Among the Hidden
Imagine a world where the government has complete control over people’s lives: random home searches, ability to listen to your phone conversations, and even the power to tell families how many children they can have. In "Among the Hidden," this nightmare is the reality. Luke is twelve years old and the third child in a family that is only allowed to have two, a rule that is strictly enforced by the Population Police. He has lived his entire life in hiding, because nobody knows what might happen to him and his family if anyone finds out. But then one day he notices strange activity next door after everyone has left. Is it possible there is another child like him? What is Luke willing to risk in order to communicate with the outside world? For children slightly too young for "The Hunger Games" trilogy, this series is a perfect fit. Filled with suspense and danger, the chilling world of this post-apocalyptic fantasy will keep you on the edge of your seat!
