Publisher's summary

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?

Best book ever

I thought it was the best book I’ve ever listen to! I read the first book in sixth grade and now I made it my goal to listen to all of them and it was the best idea ever! I would listen to this again

Loved the twists and turns, gives a lot to think about too

The series ended differently than expected and that’s a nice surprise! This was my favorite series as a young 90s kid in 6th grade.. I wasn’t able to source the rest of the series in later years, after it was written. Grew up pretty poor. What a delight to read-read and finish the entire series for free on Audible!! (A friend recently gifted me the entire set in paperback too!) Now, I’m going and reading all the other Haddix books on Audible! I’m 32 and it’s made my whole month already to finish this series!

Finished the whole series!

Yes, this is a dystopian series, but the focus is on the importance of freedom and keeping government honest and that even young people can do seemingly small acts that inspire others. The books are well written and I think listeners will enjoy the action and the narrator’s excellent performances. This helped take my mind off the current pandemic situation while I did a puzzle - a new way to relax for me and helpful. I think my middle school students would especially enjoy this.

Performance and Story

I really liked the book. I recommend it. There was only narrative mistake. It is too minor to take a star off though. Thank you audible.

Just as good as when I was in middle school

It was a walk down memory lane to relisten to this gem of the book series, just as good as I remember fun to listen to again as an adult it went by very fast
