Overview
Set in a dystopian future where overpopulation has led to strict governmental controls, Among the Hidden follows the story of Luke Garner, a third child forbidden by law and forced to live in the shadows to avoid detection. Luke's existence is one of isolation and fear until he discovers another hidden child, Jen, who introduces him to a world of possibilities and dangers he never imagined. This gripping narrative delves into themes of freedom, identity, and the moral complexities of societal regulations.
Margaret Peterson Haddix crafts a suspenseful and thought-provoking tale that resonates with middle-grade readers, prompting them to consider ethical questions about government authority, personal rights, and the value of individual life. The novel's fast-paced plot and relatable protagonist make it an excellent choice for engaging reluctant readers and sparking meaningful classroom discussions. Educators can utilize this book to explore topics in social studies, ethics, and civics, encouraging students to draw parallels between the fictional society and real-world issues. Bulk orders are ideal for classrooms, literature circles, school-wide reading programs, and youth organizations focused on fostering critical thinking and dialogue about societal structures.
