About this book

Among the hidden: In a future where the Population Police enforce the law limiting a family to only two children, Luke has lived all his twelve years in isolation and fear on his family's farm. Then Luke discovers the existence of another shadow child and his world is turned upside down. Among the imposters: 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.
