He wondered: Am I the only “third child” in the world? One day while looking out of the vents in his attic bedroom, he discovers Jen in one of the houses that now occupies the his woods, and his small world stretches open just a little bit, possibilities become more real, tragedies. He could play and explore the woods around his house, but even that was taken away from him, too. On his sixth birthday, Luke’s mother told him why he could not go to school, and could not ride to town in the pickup truck. When this story begins, he is somewhere near 12 years old. Because of his third-child status in a world where having more than two children means the parents have broken the law, Luke must stay hidden – at all costs. Luke is the third child in a family of Father, Mother, Matthew, and Mark. Reviewed by MCL Staff Member Harriet Engle
