A suspenful book that you can't put down!

Customer Rating:

This is definately a book for anyone who likes suspenful books. This applies to all the Shadow Children series. Like many others, I was skeptical about reading this book at first, but then I realized that I was mistaken. This book was one of the best installment compared to the first few books. When I first started to read this, I thought it wouldn't be as great as the others because the story was mainly focused on a new character named Trey. Since the prior books were centered on Luke/Lee, I thought that this book couldn't continue the momentum from the other books. This book is an absolute must and a welcomed part to the series. Throughout this book, you learn more about the population police and their headquarters. Luke, Nina, and other shadow (third) children are captured. Only Trey reamins to rescue them, but is he brave enough to? If you are a fan of this series just like me, then this is a book that MUST be read. It continues from the previous book and trasitions great into the next one. It's one of those book were when you start reading it, you can't stop!

Among the Brave Review

Customer Rating:

Among the brave is about a boy named Trey. Trey has made appearances in two other shadow children books, helping out main characters such as Luke and Nina. This time he's a main character. Trey's friend Lee (who is Luke) has been kidnapped by the population police, along with Nina. Trey has pretty much been a coward his whole life, except for a few key moments. He is stuck at the Talbot's house, (where a character Jen, lived and died in a previous book.) expecting to talk with Mr. Talbot, (a population police officer who helps third children. Instead the house gets raided by the population police and Mr. Talbot arrested. Trey decides to stay there for a while, not knowing what to do, as his friends are kidnapped, and no one can help. The he meets up with Mark (one of Luke's two brothers) and Smits, who is taking the name Peter as his new identity. Mark and Trey go to the new population police headquarters, which used to be the Grants (Smits parents) house. Mark gets caught and taken away by the poulation police. Trey now has to save yet another person. He signs up for the population police, and sneaks through the vents of the house. He eventually finds Mark in the basement. He sees Mark being sentenced to death fo having food illegaly. Trey tells Mark to yell liber, which is Latin for free. One of the guards comes in and asks why Mark was yelling liber. Mark said because he wanted to be free. The guard, Trey, and Mark work out a deal, he is going to help Trey and Mark save there friends for information about them. The guard told Trey to get to Mark's truck and drive it close the HQ. Trey did that and walked into the building. The guard, Trey, and Mark get in the truck, with Mark still in the cage. They go to a prison camp called Nezeree. They have to go through a mob of people to get to the camp, and the truck even flipped over but survived. At the prison, the crew went to the warden, and had Mark sent to a cell block. He meets up with the rest of his friends in prison cells,Lee, Nina, Joel, and John, and the chauffeur from before. They all escape the prison.
