The book that I have just started reading over break is called "Among the Hidden" by Margaret Haddix. This book is about a young boy named Luke who is the youngest child in his family. He is also the third child. In this book everything is set in the future and a new law was passed saying that families can only have two children, and if you have a third it has to be killed because that is how they control the population I'm guessing.
This is a problem for Luke and his family because they don't have the heart to give away they're child that I think is about 10. He has learned to hide from society by being inside all day, playing outside in ways that there is no chance anyone can see him, and when people come over to the house he hides in a room that no one goes in so he is not found. So far Luke has been content with living like this but as he gets older he is wanting to venture out and explore the world. Although I have only read the first 3 chapters of this book I can tell that it's going to be good and that I will like it.
