awesome part of book

the stories developed so much in just a few pages its insane. ill be talking about the story and Luke this week so i can share my excitement and reading. after he meet the other shadow children he found out the origin of the school and the fact that the other shadow children who go to the school and how they find and help them. the reason why everyone was mean and rude was because if they treat the shadow child to nice and something bad happens a word might slip from them saying they are a shadow child.

as the story progresses he gets shown the ropes by one of his own (a shadow child). he starts studying and learning each and everyday absorbing information like a sponge. jackal the shadow children at the boy's section ring leader notices this and tries to sweat talk Luke into not trying since he was a hacker like Jen and could give Luke straight A's and get him into high honers.  this shadow child is the one who came just before Luke but him and another girl Nina from the girls section of the school run the shadow children they found and brought together. the scheme they preached to them is a rebellion like Jen's but more planned.  as i continued to read there can a part where Luke goes looking for the bathroom and stumbles upon jackal speaking on a cell phone, he stands waiting at a corner thinking of how the government can tract the signals given by the phone and wonders when he should pop out and take the phone. in the mist of going to go smack the phone he hears jackal say "i have them fooled they don't know I'm working for the population police...". Luke still in motion goes to smack the phone and crushes it instinctively like he was watching someone else do it. this was way out of Luke's character so he experienced a out of body situation where he is watching himself do these amazing actions like knocking someone unconscious with a book, and trying to tell him self what jackal said was a lie.

in all his usual fear and unease the phone rings and a threat from a population officer is said "if you ever hang up on me again ill kill you and the other shadows!" it was then Luke realized all he was told was a lie, and now he sets off to tell the others.
(books not over i just stopped reading there PS isn't it a awesome cliff hanger for you guys?)
