Nina, a teenage girl and an illegal shadow child herself, is put into their cell. However, life is still dangerous for kids like them, and now they have been imprisoned.
The priest has taught them how to survive as shadow children: how to live on the streets, how to find fake IDs to pose as legal children, etc. In Among the Betrayed, the third book in the series, ten-year-old Matthias, nine-year-old Percy, and six-year-old Alia are shadow children raised by a homeless priest. These illegal children, known as "shadow children," do not have the right to exist, according to the government. This limit is brutally enforced by the Population Police, who utilize raids and spies to flush out families that may be hiding additional children. In a bid to get the population under control, the government has enacted a strict two-child limit per family. In the dystopian world of the Shadow Children series, overpopulation has strained the environment to the breaking point, resulting in extremely limited resources, such as food and water. Her work has won several awards, including the International Reading Association Children’s Book Award and the American Library Association Best Book Award.
