From Publishers Weekly

In the third installment of Haddix's series about a futuristic society in which families are forbidden to have more than two children, Nina, a secondary character in Among the Impostors, is falsely accused of treason and imprisoned by the Population Police. Her interrogator gives her an ultimatum: either she can get three other child prisoners, illegal third-borns like Nina, to reveal who harbored them and where they got their fake identification cards, or she will be executed. Nina sees a chance to escape the prison (which seems rather convenient at the time) and, taking the prisoners with her, quickly discovers their street smarts. But when their food supply runs out, Nina seeks the boy she knew as Lee (the series' original protagonist). Haddix expertly describes the impact of Nina's upbringing in hiding (she doesn't know how to swim; the sound of students laughing loudly reminds her of the first time she overheard children playing outside and could not join them). As with the last book, there are dense revelations at the end (including an explanation of Nina's ease in escaping prison), and some of them may test readers' willingness to suspend disbelief. Even so, the author delivers more than enough suspense to keep fans hooked and to intrigue new recruits as well. Ages 9-14.

From School Library Journal

Grade 5-9-Haddix continues her science fiction dystopian tale about illegal third children in this sequel to Among the Hidden (1998) and Among the Imposters (2001, both S & S). Nina is imprisoned by the Population Police for being an illegal child. She is given the opportunity to save herself by spying on the other three children who are in the jail cell with her. Nina finds herself both drawn to them and fearful for her own life. When she has a chance to escape, she decides to take them with her and is surprised at their survival skills as they fend for themselves in the wild. Then, Nina is captured again. This time, though, she has an even harder decision to make-will she put her life in danger in order to save her friends? In a surprising ending, Nina finds that the children she rescued and the man from the Population Police who arrests her the second time are part of a group dedicated to saving third children like herself. While the book could stand alone, it is much more interesting and meaningful when read after the two previous volumes. As a character, Nina is well drawn and believable but it is the agonizing moral decisions that she must make that elevate the book beyond the average tale. Haddix is a superb storyteller and her view of a future world short of food that allows only two children per family is both scary and plausible.

Among the Betrayed
Margaret Peterson Haddix

Everything was going pretty well at Hendricks School for Boys and at Harlow School for Girls, until a boy named Jason slips a note under the door to Harlow School for Girls.
The note was an invitation to meet in the woods, right outside Hendricks, a couple times each week to discuss issues on what's going on at each of the schools. The most popular topic was the discussion about third children, who In this series of books are illegal, because the government is afraid of a food shortage.
Jason is a betrayer and tricks all of them into confessing they have fake I.D. cards. This is a very dangerous for the third child and the family of the third child, if Jason tells the Population Police. The Population Police can kill you if you are an illegal child and for having a fake I.D. card.
Nina is one of the kids who were betrayed and something and might happen to her and maybe even Jason. Luke might be accused too; for being a third child. To find out what happens to Luke, Nina and Jason read Among the Betrayed, a third book in the Shadow Children Series. (It is recommended that you read the first two books.)

5.0étoiles sur 5 Among The Betrayed is a wonderful book!!, Fév 23 2004
This review is from: Among the Betrayed (Hardcover)
This book is great!! It is very exciting and it never leaves you without something to think
about. Margaret Peterson Haddix is an excellent writer and she definitely showed her skills
off in this book. I love how she makes this alternate reality seem so real. When you're
reading it's like a movie is playing inside your head because the story is so awesome! Can
you imagine what would happen if you were an illegal child? What if this was happening
to you? You HAVE to read this book and put yourself in Nina's shoes! What would you
do? Think about it while you read Among The Betrayed for yourself!

5.0étoiles sur 5 Hey, This book is great!, Fév 20 2004
This review is from: Among the Betrayed (Paperback)
Okay, It's obvious that Margaret Peterson Haddix likes subjects about the Population Police. She's written many books about it. But this one's by far the best one. You might be a bit bored in the beginning because you don't understand. But that feeling doesn't last very long. Okay, so Nina Idi is an illigal 3rd child, hiding with her grandma. Soon enough she is caught. To save her life, she must betray 3 children... or so she thinks. Read the book to find out what happens!
