Among the Impostors (Shadow Children)

In the book that I had just finished, it talked a lot about who you can trust, because for all you know, they could be IMPOSTORS.I hated the words that Jason used sometimes. "Exnay" or "Fonrol", it just made me mad for the people who truly were exnays or fonrols. I have read the first book of the serious too and I absolutely love it. We read "Among the Hidden" in class a couple of months ago and I completely loved this book, words can't describe how much I love it. So, when I got home from school, my mom and I brought up our iPad and we downloaded "Kindle" on there and then downloaded the book, "Among the Impostors" and I read the book with in three to four weeks, at night before I go to bed, is when I read, but finally finished the book a few minutes ago and it was probably one of the best books, I've ever read and I just completely loved it. I keep repeating that I loved the book so much, using the words absolutely and completely because I just can't find the exact word, that I am looking for and I am trying to find the perfect word to use in my book review.I really liked the book because, it kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. It used good vocabulary, punctuation and grammar. The book used lots and I mean lots of suspense. And suspense to me is what really makes the book interesting and awesome. Me, personally, I like feeling suspense and feeling like I am going through the same things Luke was and having to make the same decisions and be as confused as he was. And that is why I really loved books like that.I plan to read the next book and the book after that and the book after that because I feel that they are interesting and are my kind of books. I feel very happy and suspenseful when I read these types of books and the series of "Haddix", it is sort of scary as well. Scary things in books just made me hyper and extremely happy. When I read these certain books I get very emotional at times, if nessaceary. At the scary or suspensful moments of the book, I feel scared for the people in the book and mad or upset at the situations that they are facing and having to go through. I am not a big fan of happily ever after books because I don't want to feel happy when I'm reading, surprisingly, but I want to feel scared or suspensful when I'm reading. I feel the same with my writing. I can't come up with anything to write about, exspept scary or senspenful stories to write about. I know that these books are fictional and I am a big fan of fictional books and I'm happy to read/write about fictional stories and not non-fiction stories because I don't want to learn about true things, like facts. I want to learn about the feelings, thoughts and emotions that the characters are going through or feeling. I don't want to learn about how the government was formed or how certain laws were created, I want to learn about some interesting characteristics etc.I would recommend this book to people who like suspensful and Intense types of books. Fictional books.

I read the first book in this series and really liked it so I had to get this one and was most definitely not disappointed!! I really like Margaret Peterson Haddix, I've read Under Their Skin, Palace of Mirrors, Double Identity, Among The Hidden, and now this by her and I liked all of them, even though Under Their Skin was a bit too young for me, this isn't.I'm a 13 year old girl and I liked this book so if you're anywhere near that age boy or girl then you will probably like this too. It's about 12 year old Luke who is a third child in a society where only 2 or less children are allowed in a family. You HAVE to read the first one before this, it is NOT one of those series where the order doesn't matter. Trust me, it is vital you read them in order so you understand what's happening.I can hardly wait to get the next in this series, and for such great books they are really cheap. If you have read Among The Hidden and the other books in this series and are looking for something to read you might like Wake Up Missing by Kate Messner, the Red Rock Mysteries by Jerry B. Jenkins and Chris Fabry, or Sylo.Well I think that's all you need to know, so go read this book! I hope this helped you in any way :)

A great read for pre-teens and adults alike. The main character Luke, faces life lessons and moral choices are embedded in a highly engaging story that draws the reader into Luke's struggles. There is plenty of room for students to engage in higher level thinking. Questions of honor and compassion are set against a legal structure designed to solve world problems. The wise parent or teacher will see the parallels to current events and history to guide children's ability to think through complex issues. All the while, children will also just have fun reading quality literature about characters that are easy for pre-teens, teens and adults t relate to. This book is second in a series that is well worth reading. To get the most enjoyment, readers will want to read the books in order.

As always great writing, great characters, great story. I really wish it were either cheaper, 7 dollars for 173 pages of an ebook is ridiculous, or longer. It's like the second part of the first book that was published separately just to get more money. That's the only reason I'm giving it 4 stars.

I reread the first book in the series as it was shook I loved in middle school. As an almost 30 year old it was still fascinating.And this second book was so good, if not even better?! It totally threw me for a loop so now I have to read the third.

My granddaughter loved the book and read it for a project in her 6 th grade English class.

Read yo my middle school students. Resulted in interesting conversations about siblings!

I was introduced to this series through a Middle school reading project. I am over 40 years old however I thought I should read it to communicate with the kids even though I don't teach literature. After reading the extremely engaging first book in the series (Among the Hidden), I did not hesitate to get this one. It did not disappoint.I have a feeling the author, Margaret Peterson Haddix, is going to get a lot of money from me. :) On to the next one!It is rare when public school children are exposed to complex topics such as the dangers of big government, environmental regulations, tyranny, food police, population controls, and Big government solutions turning into huge problems. Discussion points also include property rights, strong worth work ethics, and government spying on its own population.I highly recommend that parents read along with their children so they might both benefit from these books.

Loved it and so did m kids, on to the next in the series

Ich habe jahrelang nach den Folgebüchern gesucht und war sehr begeistert, als ich sie gefunden habe. Jedes Buch hat seine neuen Seite und Twists, mit denen man nicht gerechnet hat. Auch super, dass in den Folgebüchern immer mal andere Personen die Protagonisten sind und es doch alles wieder mit Luke zu tun hat.

Gutes englisches Buch das aus der Sicht des Handelnden geschrieben ist. Verständlich auch für Sprachanfänger und nur ein Buch aus einer Reihe
