Description

In a future where the Population Police enforce a law limiting families to two children, Luke, an illegal third child, has spent all twelve years of his life in isolation on his family's farm. He has never attended school, celebrated a birthday, or had a friend. Luke is one of the Shadow Children, forbidden by the Population Police to exist. When a housing development encroaches on the woods next to his farm, he is no longer allowed to go outside. Then he sees a girl's face in the window of a house where two other children live. He meets another Shadow Child, Jen, who is willing to risk everything to come out of the shadows. Can Luke dare to join her dangerous plan? Can he afford not to?
