This is a book about a boy named luke garner and in his country the family's are only allowed to have two children but Luke's mom has him anyway because he is an illegal third child he has to stay in hiding thats why they call tithe shadow children series. I like this book because it is so well written margrett Peterson haddix is one of my fav authors she has also written other books such as palace of mirrors just Ella and double identity and turnabout

O M G! this book series is like like sooo totally like amazingly amazing! Its sooo soo so so so good.

i only read the first one, but it is amazing!!

these books are very suspenseful and there are a couple main characters so you have to keep track of what is happening and who is talking but other than that this is one of the best series ever!

Excellent first book in this exciting series.

I like Margaret Peterson Haddix a lot. I have read the Missing books but never read these. I will now!

this series got me hooked and it will get you hooked to! Among the imposters was the best one. there is a population law that you cant have more than two children. that law is broken byu a lot of people who dont care about that law. an amazing book.
