In Among the Brave, Trey is overcome with his cowardice when he is driven to Mr. Talbot's house and is abandoned. Mr. Talbot works for the Population Police, who seek out illegal third children in order to bring them to justice. However, Mr. Talbot is a double agent, and helps third children. The Plot:The entire story takes place in a little over aAgain, I'm going to have to give a book in this series a 3.5 because I can't bring myself to give it 4 stars. Bummer!! This is book 5 in the series, and it is Treys story after he is dropped at Mr. Talbots house in the end of Barons. He thinks hes there to get help from Mr. Talbot while his friends wait in the car, but when Population Police tear out of the garage with a handcuffed Talbot, and Nina and the others speed away from the house, hes left alone, confused, and scared.

This is probably my favorite book in the series. The protagonist is now Trey Jackson which annoys many of my students because they just want to know what is going on with Luke. However, Haddix continues to develop all of her characters and this portion of the story is Trey's as he and Luke's brother, Mark, set out to rescue Luke. Lacking self-confidence, Trey never felt he was brave or worthy until fate steps in and makes him do things he never thought possible. This novel features more action
Among the Brave is the fifth installment in the Shadow Children series. In this book it is all about how Trey, as a third child, went and fought against all odds. He was forced to put his fear aside in order to save his friends.
I have read 6 out of the 7 books in the Shadow Children series, and except for the first book, this was my favorite so far! In this book Trey, one of the boys Lee mentored at the school, is the protagonist and "hero",something he never would have thought himself capable of! As a 3rd child, Trey grew up hiding in the city with his 2 friends until they got caught by the population police and "held" in prison, until they could be brought to Lee's school by Jen's father. Trey looks up to Lee and
This was the best book in the series so far, in my opinion. It was fast paced and suspenseful; I read it in one sitting.
A very different book, a wholly outdoor adventure at last. Very surprising that things fell into place that easily in the end. You would think the leader of the Liber group, or whatever they call themselves, would be better guarded. But this sets the stage for the final battle, and another switch over from Luke to Trey opens up the door for further self-discovery.
