In fact, Luke has never had a friend. Luke is one of the shadow children, a third child forbidden by the Population Police. 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? 1210896 book 1998 Among the Hidden (Shadow Children, Book 1) total:5825|5:2211|4:2070|3:1195|2:280|1:69| 5825 23549 7296 903 5 3 false false Mon Mar 03 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Mar 24 16:10:58 -0700 2008 Wed Apr 02 17:39:23 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Sun Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Mar 30 19:03:30 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 30 19:30:27 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Mon Mar 30 19:22:11 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 30 19:49:10 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 2 false false Thu Dec 25 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sat Dec 20 20:33:13 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 25 21:22:08 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 3 false false Sun Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sat Jun 23 21:36:57 -0700 2007 Thu Aug 02 21:08:51 -0700 2007
