Wow! What a great book! This was one of those warning-against-too-much-governent books. It was very interesting. It is about a boy named Luke who is a "Third Child" which is against the law. Population law strictly states that families can only have two children and Lukes family already had two boys before him. Luke loves his family and knows they love him, but is beginning to go crazy stuck in the house hiding all the time since the government took away the forest that was their backyard that he used to be safe in. Luke's only form of entertainment was watching the new neighbors out a slit in the side of his room until he spots someone that shouldn't be in the neighbors house; another third child. Luke risks everything to go investigate and gets swept up in a fight for freedom against the government.
