Among the Hidden, by Magaret Peterson Haddix, is the first of an exciting series set in the future.  Luke lives in a society that allows families to have only two children.  The problem is, he is a third child.   Throughout most of his childhood, Luke has lived with his family next to a secluded wood, and so he could play outdoors without anyone knowing about him.  


This all changes when the government begins to develop housing for the growing population, and Luke is forced to live inside, confined to the attic.  The one bright-spot in Luke's life literally shines through the slats of the attic windows, where he can look out into the world without being seen.   On day, Luke even thinks he sees another "hidden child" in a neighboring house.


Will Luke have stay confined in the attic because of the laws of this strange, futuristic society?  Is there another hidden child?  Read this intriguing book to find out!      -Mrs. Frank
