the first 3 books were ok, but the problem with margret peterson haddix is that her books are sooooo slowww.....

My class had read this book... and I really liked it. I think some of my class liked it But I liked it alot.

i decide to read this because my sister was telling me about it it about a boy ,name luke and a girl name jen they were not aloud to have third chirlderns luke had to hide from the police jen and the other people went to the rally they got kiled jen dad was one of the police i would not like to be the third child

luke garner is cool i like how the book is. you guys should read it if you did not read it!!!!!!

Luke Garnner wants to come out of hiding but he he is the third child and there can only be 2 kids in a family, so you will have to read the rest!

This book is a really good book if you are OK with violence. This is one of my all-time favorite books!
