About this ebook
"Enough games," the man said, raising the gun yet again. "And enough of the Population Police, I say."
This time he cocked the gun and aimed carefully.
This is real, Luke thought. This is really going to happen.
"No, don't!" he screamed.
Luke Garner is a third-born in a restrictive society that allows only two children per family. Risking his life, he came out of hiding to fight against the Population Police laws. Now, in the final volume of Margaret Peterson Haddix's suspenseful Shadow Children series, Luke inadvertently sets off a rebellion that results in the overthrow of the government. The people are finally free. But who is in charge now? And will this new freedom be everything they had hoped?
With all of the plot twists and excitement Haddix's fans have come to expect, Among the Free brings the Shadow Children sequence to a chilling conclusion.

It is only right that Luke brought this series to a close, and he did so in a very inspiring way. I liked learning more about how the famine began and how it affected those who don't understand what it's like to be a third child. This book makes you ponder the true meaning of freedom and I'm glad I followed this series to the end.

I wanted to just read a bit of the book, but all it gave me was the tittle page and the table of contents. Then two blank pages. Please fix. I love the series, and i give it two stars because of the Play Store, not the book
