He soon discovers others slipping through the door to meet regularly in the woods. When he spots a door open to the outdoors, he sneaks out, returning reluctantly at dusk. Finding his way around school is a nightmare, classes are incomprehensible, and teachers are indifferent. Homesick and scared, he tries to keep a low profile but there is no privacy whatsoever-eight boys to a bedroom, communal bathrooms, and hall monitors and guards everywhere. Here, he's 12 years old and enrolled with fake credentials in a boarding school as Lee Grant. In Among the Hidden (1998), Luke Garner was growing up as a forbidden third child in a society that has outlawed more than two children per family.
