Among The Hidden by Margaret Peterson Haddix
This emotional classic though written in 1998, has a timeless quality. At times it feels like it harkens back to World War II, the Diary of Anne Frank, then slides into the present making it feel like a cautionary tale. Luke Gardner is the third chid born to his farmer family. The government has rules that his parents chose to break, and now that resistance will cause Luke to live a life of anxiety and subterfuge.
Ms. Haddix's 7* book series, named the Shadow Children, became a bestseller and favorite teacher read aloud for decades. I hope you will discover its thrilling story of honor, friendship and rebellion too.
* In the video I had guessed it was a 5 book series.

Ally Carter's New York Times bestseller series, The Gallagher Girls, begins with this spy school YA romance full of great humor and cliffhangers. I read it at the height of its popularity 10 years prior and rereading it has reminded me why I liked it. It feels like Harry Potter with its private school - classes, professors, and how the students exist in secrecy amongst the regular folk who just...

This great middle school thriller combines the wit and sarcasm of Percy Jackson with the action of Alex Rider.
