Nelson Mandela once said, “I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it.” This quote applies to countless people, and one of those people is the main character of Among the Hidden, Luke Garner. In this novel, which was written by Margaret Peterson Haddix, there are population police lurking everywhere, trying to find and kill illegal 3rd children. Luke is one of those children. Just to be able to spend a short period of time hiding from the population police requires a good amount of courage, but to do it for your whole life means that whoever is doing it must have a great deal of courage..
