This series first captured my interest when I was thirteen. Six years later I still occasionally return to them as comfort reads. It's rare to find books that were age appropriate as a tween an early teen that remain interesting years later.

After his only friend, another third child, dies, Luke is separated from his family and taken to hide in a boys school. There he meets other third children...but he's not sure all of them are what they seem to be.

I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first book in the series, but I still liked it enough to read the next one.

one of my favorite series ever, despite not being remotely close to my normal genre of choice. i read this series in middle school and it was the one that, not only was i always trying to hurry and get the next copy available in my school’s library, but it also left a lasting impression on me.
ended up asking for and getting the entire series for christmas as a grown adult because why not?

Very slow pace and weird, unnecessary digs at Autistic and Agoraphobic individuals.

Haddix really knows what she's doing with this series; her narrative is only gaining in momentum and I can't wait to see what happens next! Why hasn't this series been optioned for a film?
