Evaluation Epithetical Books Among the Barons (Shadow Children #4)
This book was yet another great book from this series, Among the Hidden. This was the fourth book of the series, Among the Barons. Whats happening is that you know how Luke went to Hendricks school and that he became Lee grant which who is a baron, a person who is really rich. Their was a surprise one day at Hendrick, his "little brother", which is really Lees little brother Smit's came to school with his bodyguard Oscar. Luke, Lee was so surprised and nervous, he never knew that he had a fake

For some strange reason, "Lee's" family has sent his younger brother, Smits, to boarding school with Lee. Smit's body guard, Oscar, is with the spoiled baron boy almost every minute. Luke has to figure out what's really going on without blowing his cover as "Lee."

Plot summary Among the BaronsAt Hendricks School for Boys, Luke Garner has managed to adjust to his new life as Lee grant having adopted this fake name when he came out of hiding. Things change when the Grants, a prominent Baron family who donated the name of their son when he died in a ski accident, decide to send the real Lee's brother, Smithfield (a.k.a. Smits), to the school and visit "Lee". Smits is troubled by the death of his brother, and tells Luke, the new Lee, his stories of times he

I liked this installment (plot) better than the last one. Luke Garner is pretending to be Lee Grant at a school filled with hidden third children when Lee's younger brother Smits shows up at the school. The Grants are a powerful (Baron) family, but Luke feels pity for Smits and his grief. Luke is quickly caught up in a plot to determine why Lee was killed, with a number of competing interests with vastly different agendas.

This is one of the best series for upper elementary aged kids. Each book in the series is full of suspense that causes the kids not to be able to put the book down. You would really want to start with book 1 and read them in order as so much builds upon each other. Margaret Peterson Haddix is excellent at presenting topics and situations that really get kids thinking. Her books are well written and provide an excellent springboard for classroom or small group discussions not just about the book

Among the Barons follows what seems to be a tradition in the Shadow Children series: a great story with twists and turns. Among the Barons offers something completely new, seeing what the lifestyle for a Baron is like, and having a Baron sibling. The inclusion of Smits brings a whole new aspect of the story, seeing how Luke pretending to be Lee becomes a lot harder. Among the Barons is another solid entry in the series and should definitely be read by series' fans.

First sentence: "Hey, L! Mr. Henricks wants to see you!"Premise/plot: Among the Barons is the fourth book in Margaret Peterson Haddix's Shadow Children series.
