Among the Betrayed

Among the Betrayed was an fantastic novel. It is the sequel to Among the Hidden. The author Margaret Peterson Haddix is a genius with this sequel. I am just surprised that there is not a movie to this series. The first book is about a boy named Luke and is hiding from population police. He is hiding because you could only have two children and Luke is the third. In this novel Luke is going to an all boy school. As he goes to a boy school he is bullied by a boy that lives in the same dormitory. At the end of the book Luke is told on by the bully or other wise known as Jason and does not get caught. He is not caught because the fake Identification is shown. The fake identification was given by a population police in the first novel because his daughter was killed and he does want the same to happen to Luke. To me this series is very good. It gives very good details and has dramatic scenes. But to know what happens in this novel you will have to read the first which is called Among the Hidden. I have not read the third book but if you did leave me a comment on how great it was.
