Among the Impostors is the second book in the Shadow Children Series by Margaret Peterson Haddix. This is another science fiction story that picks up where Among the Hidden left off. Luke has made the important decision to come out of hiding and try a real life with a fake identity. He assumes the identity of a young man who tragically died in an accident, Lee Grant. Mr. Talbot, a Baron neighbor, helps Luke by enrolling him in Hendricks School for Boys. At first Luke has a difficult time "blending in." Prior to this experience, Luke had never left his home or his family so he faced many new challenges. He didn't know how to get around, what classes he was supposed to go to, or what any of his teachers were talking about. Luke did not only struggle in the classroom but he also struggled with the other boys who seemed to be picking on him. The only other boys he had ever interacted with were his older brothers, so this was a scary thing for him. Eventually, Luke takes risks that pay off and his experience at Hendricks turns positive. An old friend returns to help Luke and Luke is forced to make yet again, another life-changing decision.
If you enjoyed Among the Hidden, I highly encourage you to continue the series because the storyline gets even more interesting. I cannot wait to start Among the Betrayed next!
