Among the Barons (4) (Shadow Children) Paperback – September 1, 2004

I found this series on a list for recommended summer reads, I've never heard of Haddix or read any of her books. but I am IN LOVE with this series, and this book might be my favorite so far because of how it played out with Smits, Lukes family and his friends. I would recommend this book to grades 6 and up, I think that the amount of food and people in the world will become a larger problem than it already is in the not-super-faraway-future so being mindful and grateful for what we have is really imortant. Overall I'd give this book a hundred stars if I could, this series is proving an awesome adventure and I love how it can just whisk me way from reality especially during this COVID-19 pandemic. I am definitely looking forward to the rest of the series. even though I'll be sad when it ends. :)

I am sure to say that so far this is the best in the series. When you pick it up you will not be able to put it down. But before you try to purchase this book you should read the rest of the series first. This is book 4 you should read 1, 2 and 3 first. You don't have to but you would enjoy the story more if you did. This book is full of decisions that Luke has to make. Most decisions are life and death. Another great thing about this book is the way the author includes all the characters from the other books in here. So you get a taste of all the characters. This book also has a fabulous ending to it. It ends so happy and it really gets you exited to pick up the next bok in the series. Hope you enjoy your copy and can give it a five star rating just as I did!! :)

I would definitely recommend this series for anyone ten and up. My almost eleven year old daughter calls me overprotective and that may be true :), but I read the books before her. The first book "Among the Hidden" has one spot where it talks about a bra. Also, the second book "Among the Impostors" talks about boys looking at ( I believe it was) pictures of naked girls. This was bad enough I considered not letting her read the rest of the series; however, those are the only things I found inappropriate for her age. She is not a a big reader but cannot put these books down.

I have been reading the Shadow Children Books and not one has been boring or disapointing,including this one "Among the Barons"! Every page turned keeps building with suspense and there is never a easy place to just lay the book down. I recommend this book not just because they are fast reads and exciting, but because they also have good values of telling the truth and doing things because it's right. Enjoy!Miss J

I buy books for my classroom. This is a good condition hardback book that holds up to the abuse of being toted around in a backpack. Series books are a bonus as it creates interest to keep reading beyond the first book. The more kids read the more they acquire new vocabulary.

This is a great series for upper elementary and middle school kids--both boys and girls. My son read the whole series and loved it so much he is now reading other stories by this author. I too read the series and as an adult thought it was very well written. The suspense keeps you from putting it down which is great for reluctant readers!
