A superb series

This is a superb series.

I am a secondary English teacher and it IS sometimes difficult to get young adults interested in this series. However, it is worth the effort. This is a book that a lot of adolescents will have an easy time identifying with. One child in the family is an illegal, not allowed in the sunlight. Teenagers identify with the character once they start reading it because they are teenagers.

This is an almost teenager who the world really IS against. That proves they were right all along.

On top of all that, it is also a well written series.

Among the Hidden series inspires reading and conversation!! EXCELLENT!!

These books are the story of "third" children in a country in the future where a "food shortage" makes having more than two children illegal. These shadow children are hidden from the Population Police by their parents, never allowed to be seen in public, so never knowing what it's like to live outside their own homes. This is the story of their lives in the shadows and their fight for freedom to enjoy life like everyone else. These books are the first of a set of seven (7) books, which are interesting and exciting from the very beginning! I've seen kids with a very limited interest in reading become hooked on reading THESE books! They love to discuss what's going on and can't wait to see what happens next to these "shadow children". I highly recommend these books to anyone - regardless of age or reading interest. Margaret Peterson Haddix is an author of books for adolescents who quickly makes it almost impossible for anyone to put these books down!! Buy them for your kids - read them yourself!!

Shadow Children

The Shadow Children boxed set by Margaret Peterson Haddix is a captivating series of stories about the life of "illegal" third children. I purchased the the set for my daughter and found myself reading the entire series unable to put the books down. Haddix leaves the reader wanting more with each book in the series!

Shadow Children Series

Luke is an illegal third child who realizes he is not alone. Great writing, strong characters, great read.

Imagine a world where families are allowed only two children. Illegal third children -- shadow children -- must live in hiding. If they are discovered, there is only one punishment: Death.
