Luke is an illegal third child who lives in the woods with his farming family. When construction crews invade the forest and start to destroy it, Luke must hide inside all day, as his family goes about their daily lives as though he wasn't there. But one day when everyone is at school or at work, Luke is peering out of a hole in his attic room and sees a curtain in a neighboring house shut. He starts to wonder: Who was the person in the house? Was it another third child? Like him? Luke soon gets up the nerve to steal across his lawn to the Baron's house. But what will he find when he gets in...? This is an exciting book when you get about 100 pages in. The beginning is a bit slow, when it's talking about Luke's life in his house. It does get more exciting in the last half of the book, but when it get's exciting, it gets really exciting.
