Luke hides in his house.  He is never allowed outside or even near
the windows.  Haddix takes us to a future world where after great
famines, a totalitarian government takes over and rules the country
saying that each family can only have two children.  Luke is a third
and therefore must be kept hidden.  After new homes are built in
their woods, Luke sees another hidden face and eventually meets
this third child from a rich family.  This starts a roller coaster ride of
events which threaten Luke's very existence.  This 153 page book
is not only a great story, but also a wonderful discussion starter.
