Among The Hidden
 
September 17, 2007
   I finished reading  Among the Hidden  for Book Sell to the 6th graders.  This is a story that takes place, perhaps, in a future time here.  Not sure actually.  Anyway, people have decided that there is a major population problem and no family can have more than two children.  The protagonist is a boy who is the third child born to a family.  He has been hidden since birth. His family lives on a farm in the forest so for many years hiding him was not a big problem.  But when the forest is razed to make room for a housing development, suddenly his life shrinks to the interior of his home.
