In a future where the Population Police enforce the law limiting a family to only two children, Luke has lived all his twelve years in isolation and fear on his family's farm, until another "third" convinces him that the government is wrong.
A very quick read and a good discussion starter for kids. I like that it brings up the topics of overpopulation, government control, protest and courage. It also asks the question what kind of life do you want to live? One that you control or one that you let happen to you?
This is the first book in the "Shadow Children" Series.
