Description
I’ve taught Among the Hidden more times than I can count, and it never gets old watching my students realize Luke has been hiding in his own house for twelve years. Each day I lead off with a discussion built around the setting first, since so much of this story depends on students picturing exactly what Luke can and can’t see from behind those vents and curtains. This dystopian science fiction novel by Margaret Peterson Haddix pulls in even my more reluctant readers, and this PDF novel study gives you everything I use in my classroom to connect students more deeply with the story and characters.
