About this ebook
Danger continues to loom over Luke now that he's out of hiding in the second book in bestselling author Margaret Peterson Haddix's Shadow Children series.
Luke Garner is an illegal third child. All his life has been spent in hiding. Now, for the first time, Luke is living among others. He has assumed a deceased boy's identity and is attending Hendricks School for Boys, a windowless building with cruel classmates and oblivious teachers. Luke knows he has to blend in, but he lives in constant fear that his behavior will betray him.
Then one day Luke discovers a door to the outside. He knows that beyond the walls of Hendricks lie the secrets he is desperate to uncover. What he doesn't know is whom he can trust -- and where the answers to his questions may lead him...

the Imposters, by Margaret Peterson Haddix. 185 pages. The second book in the series is AWESOME, and I mean it. I was spellbound for the first 125 pages, and hope to see it in a movie someday. Our hiding hero, socially handicapped from years locked in an upstairs, finds himself in an all boys’ school with very rich folk for peers. He struggles, and the book is filled with great rising action! This is a solid **** Four star read.

The book is super boring until you really get to page 100, then after that the story picks up. The event happen one after another so quick that it doesn't even give you time to put the book down. Don't abandon the book please, just wait, then you will LOVE it. I know I did!
