I really want to read this book because it was recommended by my teacher.i never got a chance to read it though because of my book repots

This is a really good book. It is all about this boy and why he had to hide. One day he sees some one else he thinks is hiding, he sneak out and meets a girl called Jennifer. She has a rally to stop hiding. There is a sad ending.

I am reading this book right know I enjoy although I don't want to spoil the book It good i recomed you read it.

My friends say this is a really good book. I haven't read it yet but it sounds so good! Is it scary?

This book is one of my favorites. It is good if you don't like reading a lot of pages. This book is about Luke who is a third child. If you had a third child that child would be killed. So Luke has to hid a lot of his life. Then one day while he was in his room in the attic he saw a face in the window. When he knew everyone in he neighborhood left. What will happen next?

This is a really good book I connected it to the world war ll because the Jews had to always be scared and hiding you. In the future you can only have 2 kids and if you have 3 the third has to die will Luke die read to find out.

i would give it a five star but that my opinion

Among The Hidden is a really good book. I wouldn't want to live in the attic my whole life, and not get to see new places.
