3.5*She's kinda dumb... and she's gonna be relevant for the rest of the series.I have a prediction for Nina. There was the whole Jason reveal at the end with Luke and the adults. I'm guessing she going to be a thorn in Luke's side later on. She gonna screw them over because she's stupid. There are enough hints in this where I could see her becoming a betrayer. I mean she went back and forth on doing the right thing so many times.
"Among the Betrayed" is the third book in the series. I really enjoyed this book. This book is about a young girl named Nina. The population police found her useful and used her to betray other third children. In her holding cell she meets three other children, Alia, Percy, and Matthias. While in the cell she tries to find information about them, but they do not tell her anything. One day while The Hating Man was questioning her a guard was found poisoned. Nina finds the poisoned guard's keys an...
I'm short on time again today, so, this will be quick: This was another exciting entry in this series.
I try to express only my most honest opinion in a spoiler-free way. Unfortunately, there is still always a risk of slight spoilers despite my best efforts. If you feel something in my review is a spoiler please let me know. Thank you.This book told the story from a different person's point of view, but still a shadow child. I liked the switch up, and the ending was amazing. These are short and easy to read books with a scary kind of plot. I'm excited to see how it progresses.
Among the Betrayed The main character is Nina, and she is the third born child in her family. Nina is illegal, because she is the third born of her family, and third born children are illegal, because it is hard times where she lives. Nina used to live with her aunt’s, but she got caught. For third born children to try and not get caught, people make fake ID’s for them to try and help them. The book is about a girl, (Nina), who gets caught being an illegal, and she is then thrown in prison. The
Awesome book. I loved it. Its about this girl who has to decide whether or not to betray these three young kids. She makes the choice to help them and is on a long journey, with these really smart kids, to find a safe home to stay, in the shadows hidden from the rest of the world.
this book is good because Nina is another shadow child and is actually with luke from the first book and luke doesn't know that she is a like him but she doesn't know if she should luke but IDK if she knows likes real name isn't lee grant luke is trying to say to say he can help her. this book is good because I like the series of the among the shadow children and all of these books mostly have action and its interesting
IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
Third in 'The Shadow Children Sequence,' and perhaps the most fascinating so far, with its edgy examination of trust and perception. 'Among the Betrayed' shifts focus and the protagonist of the first two books in Haddix's seven-volume series becomes a minor player. A peripheral character in 'Among the Impostors,' Nina, takes center stage. Readers of the first two books, and it definitely is a plus to have read these first, will themselves not be sure whether to trust Nina. Nina, held and questio...
I loved this book! At the beginning I felt it was a little boring and could of had more detail, but I loved the twist ending so much it definitely deserves 4 stars! This book had lots of action and included a lot of twist and turns I did not see coming. It just goes to show you, trust no other man alive!!!! At first I thought it would be a bad book because it was in Ninas point of view but I was completely wrong! If anything it made the book better.Plus this is my favorite cover for this series-...
Writing: 1.0Plot: 0.75Characters: 0.75Enjoyment: 1.0Reread/Recommend: 0.754.25 starsI liked this a lot, but there were some points I didn't like Nina and the plot was a little slow and repetitive. (view spoiler)[I don't have much to say except that I liked that it was all a test to see if Nina was good or not. -Alia is adorable, I love how brave she is-I kept thinking, Matthias and Nina,,,,,,,ach whY-somehow I guessed that "Sa-" was going to be "Samuel" idk why that was the first name that I tho...
This one was really good, with lots of action and high stakes. I feel like this is where the series gets real, and the stakes being played for are ramped up. Nina's moral battle was also really well written. Fast paced and with good characters.
Personal Response I thought that this book was pretty good. The plot had a lot of action to it and it was very detailed throughout the book. I was able to follow what was going on with the characters pretty easily. I also thought that the variety of the characters was also very good. The ability to know what the main character was going through, both internally and externally, allowed for me to get more involved in the reading of the book. PlotNina is very confused on what has happened to her. S...
I thought the book Among the Betrayed was very good. It was interesting and kept you wanting to read more. I enjoyed the book because it was intense, entertaining, easy to comprehend, and the end had a twist on it that made the book good. The plot of the book is that there are these “third children” in this country that only allows you to have two kids because there is not enough food, this book is about this girl name Nina. Nina goes to this special school where there are a lot of third child
I decided to read “Among the Betrayed” by Margaret Peterson Haddix because I read her first two books in the shadow child sequence and I loved them. “Among the Betrayed was an attention-grabbing book. I kept wanting to read more. The main character is this book is Nina. Nina is a shadow child with a fake identity. She used to live with her aunt until she moved to the school for girls. Nina has a friend named Jason who also is a shadow child with a fake identity who went to the school for boys. T...
Personal ResponseI thought this book was good. I liked it mostly because it had a really good story line. I thought it was good, because it usually had some action. Another reason I liked this book was because every character changed so much throughout the book. PlotAmong The Betrayed was about a girl, named Elodie, who was a third child. She lived with her aunts at the start. Then she had to leave, and she moved to Harlow School for Girls with the name of Nina Idi. Harlow was a school for third...
Among the Betrayed by Margaret Peterson Haddix is a science fiction children’s book. The age group this book is intended for is intermediate readers. The book talks about the government controlling the population by only allowing two children per family. If families had any more than two children, they would be executed; so, many families hid the children known as shadow children or exnays.I like how this book was written. The book theme was based on survival. I like how the younger characters k...
I really enjoyed this young adult series and it made me look for more books by the author.
This book was very good. I liked reading the book from Nina's point of view. It had a big, surprise ending! I am excited to see what happens next!
Among the BetrayedPersonal ResponseWhen I started this book, I thought it was the next book in the series. It actually wasn’t. It was a book that I missed in the series. This book was pretty good. There were sometimes when I lost track of things, but otherwise it was pretty good. I liked this book, because it was actioned packed.PlotTrina woke up from a quick nap in her jail cell. She was dragged out of her school and was brought to the prison. She didn’t know why or how she ended up there. When...
Now it’s Nina’s turn for her story...after Jason betrayed her, she was handcuffed and arrested. Imprisoned with three small children, Percy, Matthias, and Alia who are only ten, nine, and six, she is faced with a dilemma. The “hating man” who is holding her captive wants to make a deal: if she can get the three children to open up and confess that they are illegal third children, he will let her live. Otherwise, she will be executed. But, can she do it? Can she betray others as she was betrayed
Haddix switches gears here, telling a story that occurred at the end of Among the Impostors and overlaps it. The main character switches to Nina, leader of the thirds at the girls' school, about whom we know next to nothing. Most of the story occurs in a Population Police Prison.Haddix does a great job of revealing how a situation like a political prison would work, especially when you add intrigue within the prison itself, and the Population Police. There aren't very many characters most of the...
"Among the Betrayed" is a continuation of "Among the Hidden". The Story is about a shadow child named Nina. She goes to a boarding school, where she discovers other shadow children in hiding too. Nina also meets a boy there named Jason. They fall in love. Everything changed one day when the population police arrested Nina at breakfast. They took her to a prison cell, and interrogated her. Nina found out that they arrested her for "'You and this Jason tried to trick the population police into pa
I think that Among The Betrayed is a good book because it was my type of genre that I like reading. I thought this was good because in the beginning there was this girl named Nina. She was in jail because there was a rule that the society made that you can have two children and when you had more than two children then they would go to jail. This is what happens to her because she was the third child to her family and they could've put her in jail for that but instead she made herself a fake I.D
Among the Betrayed by Margaret Peterson Haddix is the third installment of the Shadow Children Series, and rather than following our pre-established main character, Luke Garner, we find ourselves following Nina, another Shadow Child, who was turned into the Population Police, but not for being a Shadow Child - for treason that she did not commit. She is then given an ultimatum by the head officer: either get three other suspected Shadow Children to confess their identities, or be executed. This
I liked this book. This book was about a girl who had been captured by the population police because the law in her country was that a family was only allowed to have 2 kids. Nina, the main character of this book was accused of being a third child and was turned into the police. This book was pretty good, I would read it again. I recommend this book, especially if you want a quick read book.
I really enjoyed this book, just as I enjoyed the first two books in this series. It is a good sequel to the first two books. However, I did enjoy the first two a little bit more because I feel as if the plot was more developed and interesting in "Shadow Children" #1 and #2, especially in #1. All in all, among the betrayed is definitely worth reading and is an overall good book.
This is definitely more of a necessary filler book then a super interesting read. It was cool to get the perspective of another character, and see the mystery unravel. There was some twists and turns I wasn't expecting which was nice, I always like it when books surprise me. Overall I liked it though.
I am loving this series! I’ve read the first book with my students for many years and the love it! I highly recommend it as a book club selection for boys and girls or a class novel. I get them hooked with the first one, and many choose to finish reading the series.
rating - 3.5____________________________________I actually enjoyed this one a lot more. It was darker and more mysterious. The character was a bit annoying and naive but It was part of the story so it fit well.
