A hidden third child in a world that outlaws him risks everything for freedom.
Two Shadow Children novels in one volume. In a future where the Population Police allow only two children per family, Luke is an illegal third child who has spent his whole life hiding on his family's farm. In Among the Hidden he discovers another shadow child next door; in Among the Impostors he leaves hiding under a false name for a boarding school where nothing is what it seems and no one can be trusted.
In a future where the Population Police enforce the law limiting a family to only two children, Luke, an illegal third child, has lived all his twelve years in isolation and fear on his family's farm. In Among the Hidden, Luke discovers the existence of another shadow child, and his world is turned upside down. How much is Luke willing to risk for the chance of freedom? In Among the Impostors, Luke has the chance to come out of hiding at last. Under a fake identity, he is enrolled in the Hendricks School, where he discovers that there is a lot going on under the surface. Luke doesn't know whom he can trust, where the truth will lead him -- or what price he'll have to pay for the answers he seeks.
