It's been a long time since I read a book in this series, and since it starts immediately following the events in Book #3, I would have appreciated a brief reminder of what had just happened. In any case, Trey has gone to find help following travesty at the Grants, and is almost grabbed along with Mr. Talbot's house as the Population Police arrest him. Trey is no hero, but eventually partners with Mark Garner in order to find his friends, who have been imprisoned. Yet, Trey manages to find the c...

Trey was thinking about Luke, and how brave he was. He wished he could be that brave. But, if you thought about it, he never really got a chance. Until now. Trey is left stranded in front of Mr. Talbot's house as the Population Police rade it. He manages to survive just barly, hidding behind a flower pot until Luke comes for him. But he never does. Now Trey knows that something's up. So, he teams up with a boy named Mark Garner in order to find his friends and save them from the Popualtion Polic...

Among the Brave was an inspirational, thrilling, and action packed novel filled with suspense and drama all at the same time. Not only is the main character a young boy, Trey, but a illegal third child that should not have been born. After living his whole life in hiding, being exposed to the real world mentally impacted Trey. With the government being overthrown, the new military based, monarch takes over everything needed to live and forces control over everyone, even the free people. With cra...

A Review of Among The Barons by Margaret Peterson Haddix If you lived in a country where you can only have two children, if you were a third child you would be in hiding. A law made fourteen years ago changed millions. This law is that you can't have more than three kids, and if the population police catch or find you. You will be punished in death, and if you had to decide, what would you do? Hide for the rest of your life or go out and try to live life but not get caught? Luke, a third child,

Personal ResponseI really like this book. This book has a great story line and one of the main reasons has to be the constant suspense. The author does a great job of adding a sense of urgency and intensity into the character's actions. I also like how I am able to witness the growth the main character goes through throughout the book.PlotThe rebellion against the Population Police has hit a snag. The leader of the rebellion and some of its important members have been arrested by the Population

Again, I'm going to have to give a book in this series a 3.5 because I can't bring myself to give it 4 stars. Bummer!! This is book 5 in the series, and it is Trey’s story after he is dropped at Mr. Talbot’s house in the end of Barons. He thinks he’s there to get help from Mr. Talbot while his friends wait in the car, but when Population Police tear out of the garage with a handcuffed Talbot, and Nina and the others speed away from the house, he’s left alone, confused, and scared. He learns that...

I have read 6 out of the 7 books in the Shadow Children series, and except for the first book, this was my favorite so far! In this book Trey, one of the boys Lee mentored at the school, is the protagonist and "hero",something he never would have thought himself capable of! As a 3rd child, Trey grew up hiding in the city with his 2 friends until they got caught by the population police and "held" in prison, until they could be brought to Lee's school by Jen's father. Trey looks up to Lee and adm...

After reviewing this book on my blog I decided to re-read it because it's been a while. It was as good as I remembered. Trey is a likable hero because he does courageous things despite his own fear. If you're willing to look for them, the book also has some good themes about doing the right thing despite potentially bad consequences, the sanctity of human life, courage, friendship, etc. This book is my favorite in the series and can be read alone, but I'd recommend reading the stories in order.

Among the Brave is the fifth installment in the Shadow Children series. In this book it is all about how Trey, as a third child, went and fought against all odds. He was forced to put his fear aside in order to save his friends.

More action packed then the last book. Now I am really curious to how they free themselves. Next book here we go.

Hiding and running away from the law are challenges Luke Garner has to face because of his secret. In “Among The Hidden” by Margaret Peterson Luke Garner struggles by hiding a secret, he is a shadow child, a shadow child is another term for the third child which wasn’t allowed in Luke’s town.Luke is tired of hiding, he wants to be a kid, he wants to play outside and football with other kids like his brothers Matthew and Mark, Luke wants to go to school and have friends. His mom just wants him to...

Among the BravePersonal ResponseI really enjoyed reading this book. This was one of the best books in the Shadow Children series, I think at least. I really liked how each book went with a different character. The last book in the series I read was about Luke, but this one was about Trey. PlotTrey and his friends, Nina, Joel, and Jon, are all on their way to Mr. Talbot’s house. When they arrived there they debated on who was going to get out of the car and go knock on his door. There mission was...

Through a series of well-timed, unfortunate events, Trey finds himself testing his illusive bravery. Being separated from Luke, he finds himself hiding out at the home of Mr. Talbot. The home has been trashed and Trey is afraid. After a few days pass, he spies Smits and Luke’s brother, Mark near the house. Could it be that Luke’s family is living near him? Conjuring up more gumption, he decides to confront Mark. While deciding if Luke and Nina are in danger, they decide to rescue them, unbeknown...

I really liked this book, it’s probably one of my favorites in the series. Although most of the books are from Luke’s point of view, this book is from his friend trey’s. Trey had never been outside in his life until he turned 12, and he is still afraid of the outdoors. He is a 3rd child, and any time he is in an open space he tries to find somewhere to hide. But throughout the book he learns how to be brave even when he is scared. He takes up a fake identity to be part of the population police t...

This book proves that once again often the best way to read a book is to have low expectations going in. The book is almost always better than I expect when I do that and this was no exception. I expected a book from the POV of a very peripheral character up until now would be terrible and yet it turns out that it was my favourite in the series so far. Overall, this series leaves the workings of the government super vague (I assume middle grade kids don’t want these details like I do) but in thi...

Among the Brave by Margaret Peterson Haddix was the fifth installment of the Shadow Children Series, and follows Trey, Luke's friend from Hendricks School, rather than Luke. We see Trey coming to terms with how to be brave and save the people he has come to care about the most. Overall, this book really started to show the plummeting and downfall of society, but I just did not feel as captivated by this book as I have by others in the series. Maybe because Trey is not as captivating as a protago...

Book 5 of The Shadow Children follows Trey, a fellow Hendrick’s school attendee, one of Luke’s friends, and very quiet and scared third child. When crazy and unexpected things happen Trey, against all of his preconceived notions about himself and fears, steps in to help his friends. He doubts himself the whole way, he’s even very far from brave at times...most times, but he cares too much to give up, even if he needs a push and a shove in the right direction once in a while. I’m off to read the

It was better than the last two books in the series but it still can't beat the suspense I first felt when I read it.

This was the best book in the series so far, in my opinion. It was fast paced and suspenseful; I read it in one sitting.

this cover makes no sense with the plot of the book

Personal ResponseThe book Among the Braveby Margaret Peterson Haddix was a good book. I liked it because it gave good and clear details of everything that went on in the book. It gave good perspective of each event. The book would sucked me in once I started reading. I did not want to put the book down. PlotIn the beginning of the book Trey and Lee were running from the population police and had to find a new safe place to live. Their previous place had just been raided and the Grants were kille...

Personal Response: You have to read the rest of the books in the series. It's easy to read and that's a good thing for weak readers. The story line is getting really good, so can't wait until i'm done reading them. Hopefully they can overrule the government and make kids legal again.Plot: Among The Brave is about four young kids trying to plan an escape to get Luke Gardner out of the population police jail before the police try to kill him. The main character's friend "Luke" has been taken priso...

Personal response: I liked this book a lot because of the ongoing story line throughout this series. This story kept me very interested through the whole entire book. The way the author writes is very intriguing and keeps me interested. Plot: Trey was a very scared third child for along time. He was scared to even see other people when he was first introduced. Trey went from being that scared to being stranded on the Talbot’s porch looking for answers. Trey became one of the bravest characters i...

The book Among the Brave by Margaret Peterson Haddix interest me a lot with their unpredictable events that happen to the main character. In page 31, I figured out that Trey's friend was an illegal children.Then he was followed by population polices, because his parents are captured by the police. He was helped by his friends named Mark, which helped him get to Mr. Talbot to help them.He gets help from his friends to save his other friend Luke. I really loved this book, how the children in this

First sentence: Great, Trey thought. I do one brave thing in my entire life, and now it's like, 'Got anything dangerous to do? Send Trey. He can handle it.' Doesn't anyone remember that Cowardice is my middle name?Premise/plot: Among the Brave is the fifth book in Margaret Pertson Haddix's Shadow Children series. Trey, the narrator, faces great challenges in this one. For Trey, going outside is an act of bravery. So when all of his friends disappear, and the trustworthy adults in his life disapp...

The series has a kind of fantasy agoraphobia/autism to go along with the children who have been forced at dire risk to themselves and their families to hide inside silent and away from windows. Trey has this condition. He gets over it in an action scene in the last like 20 pages of the book, the first 95% are him whining about being scared and how much he doesn't want to save his friends, just look like he tried. Being scared is believable but it never ends, and it tips over into laziness. I hat...

This is probably my favorite book in the series. The protagonist is now Trey Jackson which annoys many of my students because they just want to know what is going on with Luke. However, Haddix continues to develop all of her characters and this portion of the story is Trey's as he and Luke's brother, Mark, set out to rescue Luke. Lacking self-confidence, Trey never felt he was brave or worthy until fate steps in and makes him do things he never thought possible. This novel features more action t...
