In the most exciting Shadow Children book yet, Margaret Peterson Haddix examines how the courage of individuals can make an impact on growing evil.Margaret Peterson Haddix grew up on a farm near Washington Court House, Ohio. What can one boy do against a wicked bureaucracy? But Matthias is under constant scrutiny, he has no idea whom he can trust, and he's mourning the loss of his friends Percy and Alia. There, among his most feared enemies, Matthias encounters Nina, another illegal third-born, who enlists his help in a plot to undermine the Population Police. By way of reward, the officer takes Matthias to the luxury of Population Police headquarters to train him to become one of their own. Young Matthias finds himself caught in the cross fire between the Population Police and the rebels - and unwittingly ends up saving the life of a Population Police officer. The Population Police are gaining more and more power, and illegal third-borns are in increasing danger.
