Among the Hidden by Margaret Peterson Haddix
5.0
I remember reading this as a kid and loving it. It's just as good as I remember!
Luke is a "shadow child," a third child forbidden by the government. He's spent his entire life in hiding, only meeting his parents and two older brothers. One day, he sees the face of a girl in the window of a house where he knows two boys already live, and takes the risk of leaving his house to meet her. Jen wants to take on the government, demand that they recognize third children, and wants Luke to join her.
The book is thought-provoking, suspenseful, and just the right length!
