Among the Hidden

Dystopian society, hidden child, courage and friendship.

If you're looking for a story that dives into a chilling world where being a third child is a crime, "Among the Hidden" is a call to adventure. It's a gripping tale that explores the depth of human bravery, the value of friendship in the darkest places, and the cost of existence in a world that doesn't want you. This book could be a beacon for anyone who feels silenced or overlooked, inviting you into Luke’s journey from the shadows into the light.

Description

In a future where the Population Police enforce a law limiting families to two children, Luke, an illegal third child, has spent all twelve years of his life in isolation on his family's farm. He has never attended school, celebrated a birthday, or had a friend. Luke is one of the Shadow Children, forbidden by the Population Police to exist. When a housing development encroaches on the woods next to his farm, he is no longer allowed to go outside. Then he sees a girl's face in the window of a house where two other children live. He meets another Shadow Child, Jen, who is willing to risk everything to come out of the shadows. Can Luke dare to join her dangerous plan? Can he afford not to?
