Among The Betrayed by Margaret Peterson Haddix

This book is about a girl named Nina. She is an illegal third child.Where she lives, mothers can't have more than 2 kids. She was betrayed by her love, Jason, who was trying to help third children everywhere. He got arrested too, but he lied to the population police and told them that Nina had a plan to turn in a lot of illegal third children, but that wasn't true. She was put through a test where she had a choice to betray these 3 kids or she could die herself. The kids names were Matthias, Percy, and Alia. Matthias was 10 yrs old, Percy was 9, and Alia was only 6 yrs old. There was this one part when a guard got poisoned and Nina got to take his keys. She escaped with all the 3 kids and they went to the all-girls school that she went to before she got arrested. The good thing was that a kid named Luke was growing a garden there and Nina was stealing food. So when she went to go get food, Luke caught her red-handed. She was so surprised that Luke didn't remember her. At the end of the story, Nina passed the test that she was given. She was sooo surprised.
