Among the Hidden is the first of the Shadow Children books. I love it. It is a fast read and though the setting is definitely not suburban America, the characters are relatable. (My 11 year old son likes it and that says something.)

It's a bit of a "heavy" read, not at all light-hearted. It is recommended for children 9-11, though not every child will be emotionally mature enough for this story line.

I made the mistake of letting my aunt with Alzheimer's read the book. She spent the day hiding from the population police, convinced she was being hunted.

Spoiler alert.
