Among the Hidden: Shadow Children, Book 1

In the near future, overpopulation will result in strict legal regulations for families with children up to 2, and population police will mercilessly enforce the law. As a result, Luke, the third child of the family, was hiding in his life, but now his land is being built for new development. If the shadows are always drawn like windows, the neighbors will have doubts

When he found another shadow living in a nearby house, this tragic and isolated life was interrupted, endangering her and her family's life meeting her. But another shadow, Ren, a child of a population police official is not too passive about her situation - she organizes a protest march trying to release the shadow kids

This is because it does not avoid Luke 's desolating hopeless situation. It also does not avoid the logical impact of the situation established by the author. The first one third of this book records Luke's living conditions. Because his affection but a terrible family restricts the world increasingly until he lives in an attic without a window. Please feel dry claustrophobia in his life. But she did it in a fascinating and insensitive way.

In the process, the author issued many questions - none were simple - it made it a good choice for reading groups and book discussion groups. For example, there is a true crisis of excessive population, both sides exaggerate propaganda and feel that it is difficult to find the truth. There is no easy answer or ending here.

"Hidden" and "Impersonation" are part of a series of phenomenon called "Shadow Children's Book". This wonderful book was written by Margaret Peterson Haddix. Her writings are very complicated but also descriptive, so it is easy to understand this magical book. She has countless unforgettable novels such as Turnabouts, Just Ella, Run out of Time. After reading this wonderful series, I would like to be able to read these excellent novels. So I decided to begin reading her bestselling book "Hidden".

When I originally wrote "Hidden", I did not intend to write more books on shadows and population police. The other six books I wrote in the series - among fraudsters, traitors, and freedom - gave me the opportunity to explore other characters and other tangents. But I would like to stop it before I get more reproducible. So it is left as the last book in freedom. I turned to another series, Missing

What is hidden is a young adult novel by Margaret Peterson Hadix in 1998 about the fictional future where strict measures were taken to calm population overcrowding. This is the first of seven novels of the Shadow Children series. In 2013, it was one of the top ten textbooks in American middle schools. The 12-year-old Rukganna lives on a farm with his mother, father and two brothers Matthew and Mark. As a third child, Luke and his parents violated the law. Just like the third child, Luke must conceal his time or keep it from public opinion. When the government began building a house in the forest behind the house of Ghana, Luke was obliged to hide in his house and was completely isolated from the outside world. At the beginning of the story, Luke was very afraid of being caught by the population police. But at the end of the story he became more brave and faced his fear of population police.
