About This Book
Luke Garner is terrified. Out of hiding for the first time, he knows that any minute one of his new classmates could discover his secret: that he's a third child passing as the recently deceased Lee Grant. And in a society where it's illegal for families to have more than two children, being a third child means certain death at the hands of the dreaded Population Police.
