Among the Brave

By: Margaret Peterson Haddix

Narrated by: John Kroft

Trey may have saved Luke's life, but he still thinks of himself as a coward who can barely stand to be outdoors. Now Trey finds out Luke has been taken prisoner at Population Police headquarters. Trey is terrified, but he knows that if he doesn't rescue his friend, no one will. At police headquarters, Trey impersonates an officer to try getting to Luke. But just when it looks like he's close, Trey suddenly finds himself in danger of exposing not just himself but all shadow children.

Great read

Loved each book from the series

The series ended differently than expected and that’s a nice surprise! This was my favorite series as a young 90s kid in 6th grade.. I wasn’t able to source the rest of the series in later years, after it was written. Grew up pretty poor. What a delight to read-read and finish the entire series for free on Audible!! (A friend recently gifted me the entire set in paperback too!) Now, I’m going and reading all the other Haddix books on Audible! I’m 32 and it’s made my whole month already to finish this series!

A must have for fans of YA Post Apocalyptic dystopia

Highly recommend to fans of post apocalyptic dystopia YA novels. These books are short but they carry a poignant caution of government corruption, overreach and the dangers of the ruling class.

Must read, put others before yourself

This book makes a good case for treating others great, and not focusing on our own problems.

Great series

My 5th grade teacher read the 1st and 2nd one too us back in 2001ish… well 23 years later i felt the need to figure out what happened to Luke and the rest of the shadow children. I wish this was made to a show it would BE AMAZING

Kept Me on the Edge of My Seat

I loved these books as a child but it’s been about 20 years since I’ve read them and I remember very little. This book showed a different perspective than the others which was refreshing to see character development.
