I am including a spoiler, because this story deals with a character's death at the hands of the government. According to the publisher, this book is suitable for grades 5 - 8. the murder is not grotesque and we only hear about it from a third person point of view, after the fact. But it is still something that parents should be aware of.
Luke Garner is a third child, which is forbidden by the government. As a shadow child, Luke is restricted to the confines of his home. He used to be able to run free in his own backyard, until the government took over the adjacent woods in an act of imminent domain. Now he is restricted to the attic. His house is surrounded by new homes, each housing a possible witness that may be willing to turn his family in to the Population Police; which means death.
I love this series! The are very well written and make the reader think. I couldn't wait to read the next one.
