The plot line of this series is just very interesting and I remember now why I loved these books when I was younger.They are so underrated, so I think y’all should check this series out.

you really have to read the first shadow children book to get this one. it follows through where Luke gets a new fake identity. He becomes lee grant, a former boy who died in a ski accident.Luke goes through the school trying to blend in,as he was told. if you want more information read the book.the writer really takes a whole paragraph to explains Lukes feelings which i like. it gives you a better understanding of how he truly feels.This book is not predictable like some others. I had no idea a...

5*This is like revolution leader angst. The main character is obviously going to become some genius that frees all the shadow children. This kid is already so good and this isn't even his final form. I like all the references to Jen from the first book because there are these moments where Luke wants to be more brave like Jen, but it's because he much more cautious and careful than Jen that his steps in their ultimate goal to help free everyone are more effective. Jen's ideas was a great motivat...

The Good: This dystopian, fast-paced story made for a good quick read. You have to read the previous book to get it, but, it's worth it!The Bad: As someone who was harassed throughout my school years, the bullying scenes were hard to read.Conclusion: Despite the fact that some moments in this book triggered some bad memories, I still enjoyed it. I'm glad I have the next two in the series on hand!

I try to express only my most honest opinion in a spoiler-free way. Unfortunately, there is still always a risk of slight spoilers despite my best efforts. If you feel something in my review is a spoiler please let me know. Thank you.Short but good. I found this one far more heart-pounding than the first one. I never got around to reading these when I was younger and I'm excited to finally be getting to them.

This book reminds me of what is happening in the world because I have heard of in China and in other countries, there have been problems with the population so there were laws where you could only have so many kids to try to keep the populations down.

Luke, also known as Lee Grant, and Jen's dad moved away. Lee Grant goes to this Hendricks Boys School and he's afraid that he's going to blow off his identity. He gets bullied all the time, but all he wants to do is to fit in. He starts to hang out with a group of friends, but he's not sure if he could trust any of them. Jason was one of the people he hangs out with. Later on, Lee Grant found out that Jason works with the Population Police. This book was good, you'll get it if you had already re...

I read this in a single sitting before bed last night. MPH is so fantastic. If only I had a copy of the next one....although since I know there’s a change of protagonist coming, I’m not as excited for that one.

Among the Imposters is the second book in The Shadow Children series. The book was alright. It would've been better, I think, if it was longer. The book is under 200 pages long, and half of that doesn't really matter to the point of the book I don't think. I wish that Haddix would have included more detail to the book. One something really big happens in the book, such as Luke/Lee meeting the group of other shadow children in the woods, I think the details are skipped over. It only gives the rea...

It was a very good book with many twists and turns. I would recommend it to everyone in the galaxy if I could!! VERY ambiguous story! I love it because it is super duper coooooooooooooool :) ! Stay pragmatic!~Daniel

This book is okay, it's really not that intense as the first book. But I read it any way I'm not gonna read the whole series because I'm focusing on the new series I'm reading, so yeah. This book is about an illegal third child name Luke Garner and Jen's Dad is trying to help him and he goes to this school for boys and he is really scared of blowing his cover of being an illegal third child.I think this book is okay because I like how Luke finally experienced the world. The first book is more in...

Among The Imposters- Post 1/4 Luke Garner masked himself for the sake of his family, he masked himself from society. In a crumbling world, the third child in any family is meant to be cast away due to a government that can't sustain the population. His whole life has been spent running and hiding from the Population Police, and now in "Among The Impostors" by Margaret Paterson Haddix, he takes the importance of his family to full lengths by changing his name. Change in Luke's life came when he w...

Luke Garner, is a thirteen-year old illegal third child with a false identity. The identity of Lee Grant who died at the end of Among The Hidden, the first story of the series.

I thought the book was great because they finally got a secret I.D. and found out there were more shadow children at the school.

Round up to 4.5 stars. I am strangely addicted to this series of fast pace and short books. And no regrets about starting off a Friday with very little sleep because I stayed up to read this.😝

"Among the Hidden" is a book from the Shadow Children series of books by Margaret Peterson Haddix. It has lots of unexpected twists in the plot and it keeps readers hooked. Luke Garner is an illegal third child who lives in a time where parents are allowed only two children due to famines. After receiving help from Jen Talbot's father, George Talbot, Luke is now going to Hendricks School for boys. Because he is an illegal third child, Luke gets a fake I.D. and is posing as Lee Grant, a boy from

B.R#3 Among The Impostors is a spectacular sequel to Among The Hidden. It is by Margaret Peterson Haddix. There are many different characters.There is Luke, Mr. Talbot, Jackal boy, and Mr. Dirk. They each play a key role in the book. They all help Luke along the way through Hendricks School for Boys. They made Luke realize a way to help shadow children everywhere.“When I came out of hiding I told my parents that I wanted to help other third children. Only, I didn't know how. But now I do.” The s...

Luke no longer living with his family, just having his best friend, and only friend shot by the Population Police. Luke doesn't know what to do in his new life at Hendrick's school. The only thing that Luke can hope for is the note Mr.Talbot left him. Luke kept waiting for the perfect time to look at the note. Until one day Luke spots a open door, and quickly bolts outside to look at the note. But all the help he got was a few two words "Blend in". Luke was furious at Mr.Talbot, because now Luke...

Second of seven in 'The Shadow Children Sequence.' It really helps to have read the first, because this one takes right off at full speed from 'Among the Hidden,' with little background exposition. That increased the excitement level for me, and is an effective way to lure in series fans. And the idea is just great--a boarding school without windows with a nearly autonomous student population (the teachers throw out meaningless demerits and don't seem to take attendance). Most of those students

This series first captured my interest when I was thirteen. Six years later I still occasionally return to them as comfort reads. It's rare to find books that were age appropriate as a tween an early teen that remain interesting years later.Among the Impostors follows twelve year old Luke Garner, an illegal third child. After his only friend, another third child, dies, Luke is separated from his family and taken to hide in a boys school. There he meets other third children...but he's not sure al...

This kid series of books are really great. It truly get's them to think about what if? What if that was how things would trun out would I stand for something like that? Or would I stand up? It is important to think about these things now. I want to keep reading these books and see were this Lee/Luke takes me.

I hate to dis the author but the whole scared little hiding Luke is getting kind of old. I think that like the first book in the shadow children series, there is to little action.

Tris Prior, Katniss Everdeen and Thomas Edison have got company!Luke Garner is a 3rd child in a famine-stricken, dystopian, totalitarian world governed by strict population control laws which condemn a third child to death merely by virtue of its existence. To exist and hide with a false name and false identification renders the offense an aggravated crime punishable by death by torture at the government's choice. Jake Talbot, a civil servant working for the population police, is actually a grie...

Personal Response:I read Among the Imposters by Margaret Peterson. I thought this book was very good, because it kept me interested and reading the entire book. I also liked how it kept me wanting to read the next book in the series.Plot:Luke Garner was a third child who was given a fake ID and sent to attend school at Hendrick's School for Boys. Luke was mistreated every night by a boy named Jason. Luke found a quiet spot in the woods outside the school where he started a small garden. One day...

Yes, Luke now has his fake ID that will allow him a modicum of safety as he ventures out into the world for virtually the first time in his life. Mr. Talbot obtained the necessary papers for him and as Luke says good-bye to his family, he is taken to the Hendricks School for Boys. Never having been outside before, let alone meeting new people, Luke is frightened and apprehensive. At Hendricks, odd things happen. The other students are either cruel or clueless. The huge, brick building has no win...

Something’s wrong with me when a book written for 8-12 year-olds is more appealing to me as a 25-year-old woman than some of the adult books I’ve read.I loved Margaret Peterson Haddix when I was younger, and while I read and enjoyed Among the Hidden back then, I never managed to read any more books in the series until now, over a decade later.I didn’t really enjoy the beginning of Among the Impostors. It starts out with Luke at a new school and he’s constantly being bullied and so much stuff doe...

Among the Imposters is book two of the Shadow Children series written by Margaret Peterson Haddix. Having a third child in this version of America is outlawed due to the lack of food. Luke is a third child who got the opportunity to start new under the name Lee Grant at Hendricks School for Boys. Luke has to learn how to not only keep his secret but also attempt to fit in despite his absence of knowledge about the real world. At his new school, Luke feels homesick and misplaced after being push

I wrote in my previous review for the first book in this series that it is good for a YA series. I still feel that way in regards to this book. Although the plot is good I think the writing is pretty basic. I just prefer way more back story, or in depth explanations for certain situations like informing on shadow children.I'm glad Luke overcomes his timid tendencies. I was surprised by how mean almost all of the characters were at the Hendricks school. Even the adults.

I love this series. The deep thinking that it inspires and the decision-makers it creates.

Okay, I'm a little bit hooked! This certainly isn't the best series I've ever read, but I definitely need to find out what happens! RTC.
