Among the Imposters

Margaret Peterson Haddix has done it again! Among the Imposters is an exciting book that refuses to be put down. As a sequel to Among the Hidden it rates very highly.

Third children in this future society...

How odd to spend one's life in fear of being discovered, then finding out no one cares to discover you at all. But it doesn't stop there. The school itself is odd, with no windows, and the students are equally strange- some bullies, other withdrawn. Soon,...
