Description
Luke war noch nie in der Schule, hatte noch nie eine Geburtstagsparty, war noch nie in einer Stadt oder hat sich mit Freunden verabredet - er hat auch gar keine. Luke gehört zu den shadow children : dritte, von der population police streng verbotene Kinder, die sich ihr Leben lang verstecken müssen. Nachdem nahe der Farm seiner Eltern ein Neubaugebiet entsteht und der Wald um die Farm abgeholzt wird, kann Luke nicht einmal mehr das Haus verlassen, aus Angst entdeckt zu werden. Da bemerkt er im Fenster eines der neuen Häuser, bei einer Familie mit zwei Söhnen, das Gesicht eines Mädchens, das wohl dasselbe Los ereilt hat. Ihr Name ist Jen. Und sie will alles versuchen, um aus dem Schattendasein herauszukommen. Aber wagt Luke es, sich ihrem gefährlichen Plan anzuschließen? Oder hat er überhaupt eine Wahl?

This one was a required reading for school, and immediately after finishing the school lecture, I went to my local bookstore and ordered the second book. By now, six out of seven books of the "Shadow Children" series have a place on my shelves, but as it has been so long since I've read them, I fear I wouldn't be able to get into the seventh anymore. However, at least the first three books can be highly recommended by me. While I don't remember so much about the fourth, the fifth and the sixth one, Luke's experiences and the enthralling plot in this first installment were excellent to follow, with Luke being a very likeable boy who you can't help but root for.
The series itself has remained as both my favorite author and book(s) for many years, even to this day. It's a bit dark but the story itself is interesting! The style that it's written in narrates it in a unique way. It's a type of story that you just have to read the first volume, you either like and continue or drop it whole. The rating left me a bit confused, this is NOT for kids 9-12, it's more for 14/15+, since it gets a bit violent in the later books. Truth be told, this is a series that is defiantly worth getting into!
