Discover the gripping fifth installment in the Shadow Children series: Among the Brave by Margaret Peterson Haddix — a thrilling dystopian adventure full of courage, danger, and the fight for freedom!

In a world where third children are illegal and must live in hiding as “shadow children,” this story shifts focus to Trey, a timid boy who once saved his friend Luke’s life but still sees himself as a coward afraid of the outdoors. When chaos erupts and friends are in peril, Trey is thrust into a high-stakes mission that tests his limits. With the Population Police closing in, he must navigate betrayal, risky rescues, and life-or-death decisions to protect those he cares about and help expose the underground movement fighting for all shadow children — all while confronting his own fears and discovering unexpected bravery within.

Haddix’s signature style delivers nonstop tension, clever twists, relatable characters, and thought-provoking themes of identity, loyalty, and standing up against oppression, making it a compelling page-turner that builds on the series’ dystopian world.
