It is very well written in the Omniscient point of vie.w. I could feel how Luke felt and understand his thoughts. I read it in one seating and will no check out the rest of the series to see what happens next. sroeck | May 4, 2009 | This book is a wonderful conversation starter and can truly draw strong emotions out of students. Students can ask some deep questions about our world and what conditions could truly exist in order for our government to need to control the population. A conversation can also be had to connect this issue to present day China and the many countries across the world where food and water shortages are great issues and concerns. (  )ktibbs | Apr 29, 2009 | A dystopic world of government control, food crisis and population control is the world Luke shows us. In the perspective of a hidden third child, we are taken through his development of quiet, hidden child to thoughtful, calculating activist--ready to risk his life to save others of his kind, ready to question authority and his fears. kwillis | Mar 15, 2009 | A fast-moving story about Luke, an illegal third child, who becomes less able and willing to remain hidden on his family's farm as he grows up, eventually leading him to meet another "shadow child" who hopes to destroy the system that oppresses them. This would be a fine introduction to science fiction for a middle reader. (  )espertus | Mar 12, 2009 | 0.087 seconds to build listing

He's lived his entire life in hiding, and now, with a new housing development replacing the woods next to his family's farm, he is no longer even allowed to go outside. Then, one day Luke sees a girl's face in the window of a house where he knows two other children already live. Finally, he's met a shadow child like himself. Jen is willing to risk everything to come out of the shadows -- does Luke dare to become involved in her dangerous plan? Can he afford not to?
