I order this book for my son who is twelve years old. He reads the book and practises to summarise the story for English improving. It is helpful to my son.
Among The Free

This was purchased for a student. He had read all other parts of the series and when he finished this book, he was extremely satisfied. Thank you Amazon for having what I was unable to find in local book stores.
Among the......... series by Margaret Peterson Haddix
Rating:
I bought these books for our grandson who was in the sixth grade. He read the entire series in 4 weeks. It was wonderful seeing him reading every spare moment he had. He gave up TV and PSP3 to finish these books. That is testimony enough for me showing how fabulous this series is. He is now in 7th grade and re-reading the series.
Hidden Series?!
Rating:
If you followed this series from the beginning this is a great ending for the story. It had adventure and sometimes it actually made me feel like i was in the book. Which i would say was a pretty good quality. Some parts kept me guessing which only made me want to read it even more.
But i do have to say i put this book on HOLD for a little. Cause personally the first chapter didnt get me as motivated as i wanted it to. and i am guilty for doing that. if i dont exactly like how it starts. but i am glad i finished it. and if you read all the other books. this is a GREAT finish and you should deffinatly get it.
Please write another one!

I wasn't as disappointed with the book as much as I thought I would be after reading some of the reviews on this website. The book definitely had a more satisfying conclusion than the Series of Unfortunate Events. I found the book suspenseful enough to make me want to keep reading it. I do agree with other reviewers that the ending did seem rushed. "Can there really only be a few pages left," I thought to myself. If you have read the other books in the series I would definitely recommend reading this one, but I hope the author will begin another series telling what happens next with these characters. I'd always hoped to see the reunion between Luke and his parents. For the best of MPH, check out Running out of Time. Running Out of Time (Aladdin Fiction)
