We have selected some exciting novels for you to read on the theme of power. Please choose one of the following books. Among the Hidden, by Margaret Peterson Haddix, is a real page-turner, guaranteed to keep you wondering what will happen next. Imagine living in a world where the government is so powerful that it could make a law that restricts couples to have only two children. Now, think about your life if you were a third child who had to be hidden. This is the situation for Luke. Will the government find him? Will he be able to stay hidden? What happens when he meets another third child who is also in hiding?

If this is not a just-right book for you, you may want to read either of these outstanding books-The One Safe Place, by Tania Unsworth or Swipe, by Evan Angler.
