Story4.5 out of 5 stars 55
For the past 12 years, adults called "Freds" have raised Rosi, her younger brother Bobo, and the other children of their town, saying it is too dangerous for them to stay with their parents - but now they are all being sent back. Since Rosi is the oldest, all the younger kids are looking to her with questions she doesn't have the answers to. She'd always trusted the Freds completely, but now she's not so sure. And their home is nothing like she'd expected, like nothing the Freds had prepared them for.

She is smarter than most of the adults who try to diagnose her and smarter than her classmates in her integrated classroom - the very same classmates who dismiss her as mentally challenged because she cannot tell them otherwise.

Richard Peck is a master of stories about people in transition, but perhaps never before has he told a tale of such dramatic change as this one, set during the first year of the Civil War. The whole country is changing in 1861, even the folks from a muddy little Illinois settlement on the banks of the Mississippi. Here, 15-year-old Tilly Pruitt frets over the fact that her brother is dreaming of being a soldier and that her sister is prone to supernatural visions.

Good book
I read this book as a kid. I was happy to see it has an audio book because I never finished the series and now I can start it up again. This book still comes to memory and I strongly recommend it.

Great story for kids!
I teach 6th grade and used this in my language arts class. My kids loved the story and immediately wanted to read the rest of the series. It is a great book to discuss current events (China's one child policy) and inspires students to read other stories.
Great story. Simple quick read for adults. Great novels for middle school!

my opinion on among the hidden
The reader was magnificent and the way he read the book and voiced the characters was also magnificent. The story it self was great the characters come across a few obstacles but in the end they did good. but the one part I didn't like was jean dyeing but I ges you need that death for the story to continue. But hey "I'm not the writer I'm the reader" and that is why I give this book 5 stars.

Perfect Aside from Errant Ringing
This book was one of my childhood favorites. 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. Steven did a wonderful job, and Margaret wrote a classic.
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. Saying "restart chapter" can make you go back four chapters and take forever to find your place once more.
2) there is an incessant ringing in the background that might render the audiobook unlistenable for any audiophiles out there. I tuned the pitch out but every once in a while I'd notice it.
I'm hoping the second book doesn't suffer the same pitfalls.
Definitely one of my favorite books of all time, so authentic and thorough. I 100% recommend it for anyone.

Libertarian Mind
Wonderful book. I read this in my childhood and revisiting it as an adult I've found it has libertarian ideals.
