Among the Hidden

Luke has never been to school. He has never been attending a birthday party and has never been to his friend 's house that evening. Actually, Luke had no friends.

Luke is one of the shadows banned by population police. He was hiding for a lifetime, and now he is not allowed to go outside, as new housing development will replace the forest near his house.

Then one day, Luke saw the face of the girl in the window of the house, and he knew that the other two children had already lived there. Finally, he encountered a shadow like him. Jen wants to remove all the dangers from the shadow - does Luke dare to participate in her dangerous plan? Can he afford it?

Just like Haddix's "not much time" (S & S, 1995), the loss of free will is an exciting and persuasive story, the basic theme of disdaining authority and possibly making a difference is. It was fascinated by Luke's anguish and his reaction to it. "

"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.
