Definitely one of my favorite books of all time, so authentic and thorough. He's lived his entire life in hiding, and now, with a new housing development replacing the woods next to his family's, he is no longer even allowed to go outside. I'm hoping the second book doesn't suffer the same pitfalls. Among the Hidden by Margaret Peterson Haddix About the Book Luke is one of the shadow children, a third child forbidden by the Population Police. I tuned the pitch out but every once in a while I'd notice it. 2) there is an incessant ringing in the background that might render the audiobook unlistenable for any audiophiles out there. New York Times bestselling author Margaret Peterson Haddix takes readers on a thrilling adventure filled with mysteries and plot twists aplenty in this absorbing series about family and friendships. Third childrenshadow childrenare hunted down and killed by the cheerfully named Population Police. Saying "restart chapter" can make you go back four chapters and take forever to find your place once more. Among the Hidden is a sci-fi novel set in an overpopulated future where the Government has decreed that families can only have two children. Two things are bad about this audiobook, both minor technical issues: 1) The audible chapter encoding is off, so despite the book having ~30 chapters the audible breaks them up haphazardly into 8 audible chapters making navigation by voice very difficult. Steven did a wonderful job, and Margaret wrote a classic. As an adult, the book hit just as hard and I found myself entirely enveloped in the suspense and drama of the book despite already knowing everything that happens. This book was one of my childhood favorites.
