I read the book, Among The Hidden by Margret Peterson Haddix. Among The Hidden is about the population law and how it effects the characters in the book. The population law only allows couples to have two children. Some people in the story have had a third child. The problem is that the third child has to be hidden to stay safe. These children are called the shadow children. If the government, or the citizens where to find these shadow children they would be killed.
Among The Hidden relates to real life in many ways. One way is show by a law in China which prevents its' citizens from having more than one child. Also, in Among The Hidden the mother of one of the shadow children works in a factory the same as the men. During World War I many women did the same jobs as men would due to them being away at war. Among The Hidden can be connected to real life because they have to make choices biased on what they can afford.
Among The Hidden is one of my favorite books for several reasons. It relates to our lives in a variety of ways. Whether it is things that occurred in our past, or in other countries it has many similarities. I feel Margret Peterson Haddix might have been influenced by history. I hope others can enjoy this wonderful series.
