Ramu's Review on Among the Hidden by Margaret Peterson Haddix



Among the Hidden is a really interesting and mysterious book.This book takes place in the future but it doesn't show advanced technology and modern stuff It's about the problems of the future and how third children are not allowed.

Third children were illegal because there wasn't enough food for everyone.In this book a kid named Luke Gardener is a third child.Luke has never been to school,he has never had a birthday party,Luke has never had a friend,he's lived his entire life hidden.When his parents leave the house and lock the door he looks at all the neighbours cars through the vent to check whether they all left.Then when they all left he looks through the other vent and astonishingly there was a girl inside the sportsman family's house,he thought to himself they are only to boys in the house who is this girl? robber? friend? cousin?.When the sportsman boys came in to the house after-school the boys behave normal so Luke figured out she's their sister which means she's a third child.So he makes a plan to go through the vent to her house, the first time he tries to go but he gets very scared.The next time he climbs a tree and enters her room.But she was very snobby and mean.The first day, so Luke asks her whether she's a third child and she says yes.Then she tells Luke her name which is Jenn.And then she tells her about her mom taking her to the shopping mall.Then they start to understand each other, then Luke started coming to her house everyday,Then they both become best friends.Then Jenn and Luke form a protest against third children.If you want to know what happen read this book.This book is really mysterious and fun.

I chose this book because I wanted to try something more mysterious but realistic fiction.I would recommend this book to people who are third children because they can make a lot of connections, People who like realistic fiction as well as mysterious stuff will enjoy this book.I would rate this book a 4.5/5.
