- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5FROM AMAZON: As a third child in a society that allows only two children pre family, Luke was in hiding for the first twelve years of his life. Then he as given the freedom of an identity card of a Baron and was sent to a boarding school. But now, just when things are finally starting to go right. The real Baron's brother arrives at school and he finds himself caught in a web of lies.......
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Book 4 in the series was a bit annoying, so it took me a while to get to this one (book 5). It was worth it! I read it in one 2.5 hour sitting while too caffeinated to sleep last night. The 1st person narration is from yet another Shadow Child's persective to the overall benefit of the whole series. Fast paced, the plot was not as ridiculous as Barons (book 4).
This series is perfect for middle school students who love the fast-paced, non-stop action, every-short-chapter-ending-in-a-cliffhanger kind of novel. At the moment, I have 12 students hungrily fighting over my copies as they tear through this series, which says a lot!
While I wouldn't recommend this to an adult for their own reading pleasure, I do advise parents and teachers of middle-school-aged children to get their kids into this one.
Action-packed,sufficiently thought-provoking, "appropriate" series for your middle school classroom. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Trey is so awkward, you can't help but like him. I love seeing Trey grow so much throughout this book. And unlike Luke, his growth seems natural, not forced.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is book 5 of the shadow children series. It is about a boy named Trey who risks his life many times to save his friends from the Population Police. After being left by a limo, crawling through air ducts in the enemies base, and almost being killed, he is ready for home. This book is very action packed.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5In the aftermath of a crisis that threatens the safety of all shadow children — illegal third-borns in a society that allows only two children per family — Trey's friends expect him to take charge — a function he doesn't want or think he can do.Trey's new role leads him to travel with Luke Garner's brother, Mark, to Population Police headquarters. There he impersonates an officer to try to rescue Luke, who has been taken prisoner. The nonstop adventure puts all three boys in danger and risks exposing the underground movement to help all shadow children.In this, the fifth book in the Shadow Children series, Margaret Peterson Haddix returns to the futuristic setting and compelling characters she created in Among the Hidden. With an adrenaline-fueled plot and surprising twists, Haddix has again crafted a story that is suspenseful until the last page.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Awesome book in the series!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5this is one of the best books ever
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is about Trey and Mark trying to find Lee, Nina, John and Joel who captured by the Poulaction Police. Trey and Mark go through some diffuclties and serious pain. In the book, Mr. Talbot also gets captured by the poulaction police. if you want to know more READ IT!!!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I like this series (Shadow Children) because it is fun solving the mystery parts as I read. This is about Luke surviving. The police are after him and want to capture him. I think kids who are in grades six and seven, boys and girls, would like this book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Can you be a coward, and still be brave? More Shadow Children excellance from MP Haddix!!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Trey suddenly finds that he is the only one of his friends to escape, and suddenly Luke’s brother, Mark, has decided to drag him along on a rescue mission. Trey is terrified, but through a tough rescue mission, he finds his own bravery and saves all his friends... and Mr. Talbot, too.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Trey must get his friends out of jail after the government is taken over by the population police.
