Summary

More
Luke has never been to school. He's never had a birthday party. And he's never made any friends. He is one of the shadow children—a family's third child, which is forbidden by the laws of the dreaded Population Police. But one day Luke sees a girl's face in the window of a house where he knows two other children already live—she's a shadow child like himself. Jen is willing to risk everything to come out of hiding. Does Luke dare become involved in her dangerous plan? Can he afford not to?

About this Series

In the world of Shadow Children, global drought has resulted in ruthless measures to control population growth. Only two children are allowed per family—third children are illegal. If they are caught, these forbidden kids could face imprisonment or even death. To survive, they must hide in the shadows, careful not to attract unwanted attention, and work together to avoid the dreaded Population Police. Readers won't be able to stop turning the pages as they enter Margaret Peterson Haddix's darkly dystopian world.
