THE SHADOW CHILDREN SERIES by Margaret Peterson Haddix

This seven book series, is breath taking, and can keep you reading until the very last book. It is a Junior fiction novel, but I read at a collage level and I loved this series. The first book starts off with Luke Garner, who is a third child, and therefore illegal, the whole series shows his and his friends journey from hiding in their houses until they are teenagers, to getting fake IDs, all the way the way to the Population Police Headquarters. With so many characters trying to change the world, and show people that even though they were born third, they still deserve to live, this series was really hard to put down. Each book ended with you wanting more, and only the next book would provide the need to keep reading and find out what is happening next. You get to see what the characters feel, and see. The third book you actually feel as if you are a third child trying to get your rights as a human along side Luke, Nina and Trey. I love this series, and hope that future generations will read this and know that even if everyone says that you don't belong or shouldn't live, I hope no one says that, but that you show everyone who you are and what you're worth.
