Among the Hidden by Margaret Peterson Haddix

What if the government had enough power to force families to have no more than two children? What if you were the third child in a family?
Luke has lived in the protected environment of his family farm for 12 years when a new housing development forces his parents to conceal him in the attic. Being the third child in their family, he is illegal and, if discovered, would be seized by the Population Police, bringing severe punishment to himself and his family. Luke takes to watching the construction of the houses through an attic vent and closely observes the new neighbors as they get settled. When Luke catches sight of another hidden face in a neighboring house, his narrow world opens up to possibilities that are beyond his imagination. I couldn’t put it down, and it’s great to know that there are five more books in the series: Among the Betrayed, Among the Barons, Among the Brave, Among the Enemy, and Among the Free.
The details: 153 p. 1998 (c. 2000)

I really liked among the hidden. It was a great book. I loved how Luke always took big risks. it was a great adventure book that always had me wanting to read more. That’s why I’m on the third book of the series Among The Betrayed.I’m only thirty pages through it and its already intense.
