Among the Hidden

By: Margaret Peterson Haddix

Narrated by: Steven Boyer

At a time in the future, when having more than two children is illegal, 12-year-old Luke Garner is third born, a shadow child—his very existence punishable by death.

He spends his whole life hiding and knows only his immediate family and their small farm.

When a new housing development is built near his family’s home, Luke is forced into even greater secrecy, spending days and nights in his attic room. But after catching a glimpse of someone in one of the new houses, Luke is sure he’s found another third child.

When he discovers Jen, as bold as Luke is timid, she makes Luke imagine a life of freedom. But at what cost?

Among the Hidden, an ALA Best Book for Young Adults and a classroom favorite, is Margaret Peterson Haddix’s outstanding novel for middle grade audiences.

“ ... the unsettling, thought-provoking premise should suffice to keep [listeners] hooked.”—Publishers Weekly

Absolutely remarkable

I read this book In my childhood and it's the first book I got with audible. Wonderful narration and keep me on the edge of my seat the entire time!

Loved it

I remember picking up thia series as a child. And still, over 10 years later, it remains one of my, if not, favorite stories

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!

The idea of the stores stood out most to me

I like how I had the hint of realism while not making it too serious while having a bunch of adventures and suspense
