Libertarian book for teens

I read this as a teen and enjoyed it just as much if not more as an adult. This book is from a different characters perspective and I still found myself enjoying it just as much.

loved it

I absolutely Love this book series the characters and story lines are amazingly written I highly recommend this series

Awesome

Excellent book!! I enjoy reading Margaret books, I highly recommend reading the entire book series.

Not just for young adults 😊

I am enjoying this series of books. I’m an adult & wanted something easier to listen to before going back into a complicated & much longer book.
I listened to Ms Haddix’s series of
The Missing & thoroughly enjoyed it. I saw her 1st book in Among The Hidden & didn’t realize it was a series. I wanted to know what happened with Luke. I found the others in the series & purchase 3 more. I’ll get the entire series. I’ll look into other series of hers also. It also gives me something to suggest to parents for their children. I’ve worked in early childhood education & know sometimes parents need a little help, especially during this pandemic.

Compelling conflict, fast paced narrative

The world of the Population Police is further revealed and we get to see the story through a new narrator. Trust, betrayal and survival drive our characters in a fast paced tale of the Shadow Children. The story gets more intricate and the possibilities more intriguing.
