OMG! I LOVED THE BOOK! we were reading it for a bookclub and i normally dont like bookclub books, but this one was AMAZING! great book to everyone who didnt read it.

We are reading this book in class and I love how every chapter gets better! I can't wait till we get to the end of the book!

Luke has never been out of the safety of his home. Luke is a 3rd child forbidden by the government and if he is found, it is likely death. But after being forced to sell their land, Luke's family is surrounded by barons, rich people. Will Luke live or die?

i have heard it is a really really good book and i really really want to read this book. my friends say that he is hiding for someone.
