Read the first book when I was younger, years later I still remembered the general story. So much that I had to finish the series. I really liked how Luke changed starts to change year. He starts to think more and already proves to be different than others. Cant wait to read the third book

This book is really good and I think I like it more than the first one, Among the Hidden. It features Luke Garner, or now known as Lee Grant and it really shows emotion. The ending is something pretty uncalled for. I don't think this series will ever get old.
