A hidden life inside Hendricks School

Luke Garner’s first experience of life beyond hiding comes with a new danger: he is attending Hendricks School for Boys under the identity of a deceased student. The windowless school, cruel classmates, and inattentive teachers make blending in a daily concern. When Luke discovers a door to the outside, the setting opens into questions about what lies beyond the school—and whom he can trust. As the second book in the Shadow Children series, the story connects Luke’s personal search for answers with the risks of living under a false identity.
