Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I grew up on a farm outside Washington Court House, Ohio. As a kid, I liked to read a lot, and was also involved in 4-H, various bands and choirs (I played flute and piano), church youth group, the school newspaper, and a quiz-bowl type team. I was pretty disastrous as an athlete, although I did run track one year in high school. After graduating from Miami University (of Ohio), I worked as a newspaper copy editor in Fort Wayne, Indiana; a newspaper reporter in Indianapolis; and a part-time community college instructor and freelance writer in Danville, Illinois, before my first book was published. I've moved around a lot as an adult, having also lived in Luxembourg (during a college semester abroad) and in Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania. Several years ago, I moved back to Ohio with my husband and kids; we now live in Columbus, Ohio. My husband trains investigative journalists, and my kids are in high school, so there's always a lot going on around our house.

Keeps You In Suspense!

Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2011

Verified Purchase

I don't understand why this novel series isn't adapted to the small screen. It has everything imaginable to keep viewers and readers glued to know what's happening next. Only the author knows and she has done a brilliant job in keeping my attention. It's fast reading and it only took me 2 hours to read it.

The story picks up with Mathias and the shadow children (third children are illegalized) hiding from the Population Police that are modern day Nazis who hunt the illegal third children. The purpose of the Population Police was established during the droughts and famine period where food was scarce. Their solution was to permit only 2 children per household to maintain enough food for everybody. But in the series, we learn about how the politics, corruption, and evil manipulative ways that the Population Police in this unidentified country is allowing their own fellow citizens to die of hunger daily.

Mathias ends up in enemy headquarters of the Population Police after a heroic action. He is befriended by a highly esteemed officer who dies. Mathias is treated highly by the secretive commander of the Population Police who treated the Officer like a son and protege. During his time there, Mathias is given access to secretive information to help the cause. Won't go any further, the story is compelling, imaginative, and suspenseful!

I think that Haddix could have done more with Matthias. However, she starts to add more layers, conflicting emotions, and basic espionage. Perfect choice of main character for this one. Still wondering what the other people did in this one.

Great series for preteens

Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2015

Verified Purchase

I would definitely recommend this series for anyone ten and up. My almost eleven year old daughter calls me overprotective and that may be true :), but I read the books before her. The first book "Among the Hidden" has one spot where it talks about a bra. Also, the second book "Among the Impostors" talks about boys looking at ( I believe it was) pictures of naked girls. This was bad enough I considered not letting her read the rest of the series; however, those are the only things I found inappropriate for her age. She is not a a big reader but cannot put these books down.

Good Book

Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2013

Verified Purchase

I attended a book fair with my son and we picked up the first book in this series "Among the Hidden". For some reason, I started reading it at the fair (while he was off with his teachers) and I was hooked! I've read the full series now and now I go through my son's "chapter books" (he's in 7th grade) and raid his literature. This book helps you see everything through the eyes of a child, but it has tremendous sociopolitical analysis. And it's just fun to read. Good science fiction.

I thought the book was good. I loved the series. I couldn't put it down. Interesting situations and details.

Very spell bounding. It keeps you wanting to scream to the kid. Keep living, woke up. You wanted the child to come to himself, and not be afraid. Which in the end, the teaching of a holy man, kept him strong, and the joy of reunion made him even stronger.

Replaced Electronics...what a blessing

Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2016

Verified Purchase

My son has not liked reading outside of school and this series has really captured his attention. He now puts down the electronics on his own and picks up these books. I hope we can find a similar series for him to enjoy.
