My review of this book: Among the Hidden is a very good book. Many book clubs, book chats, libraries, etc., have suggested it. Don't delay! Although the beginning of the book was a bit slow, I was riveted by the end. (Aren't all the beginnings of a series of books a little slow?) Luke finds another third child, named Jen who is strongly devoted to demanding equal rights for third children. There were also several unexpected twists and turns to the book which keep you reading.
