Margaret Peterson Haddix

This is Margaret Peterson Haddix

My hero is Margaret Peterson Haddix. She has written books which I love to read. Margaret lives in Columbus, Ohio. She was born on April 9, 1964. The reason she is important to me is because she is the author The Shadow Children series which is my favorite series ever.

Her first book that she wrote Among the Hidden

"She spent her early years on a farm outside Washington Court House, Ohio. Margaret graduated college from Miami University of Ohio. Over the years she has had a few different jobs; she was a newspaper reporter in Indianapolis; a community college instructor; and freelance writer in Danville, Illinois. She has two children their names are Meredith and Connor. Her husband Doug is a newspaper editor."

Her third book Among the Betrayed

In the series she writes about what would happen to the children who were born as a third child. My eyes were really opened when I read what happened to them. The children were either killed or taken to the population police. It was a really sad thing what she said. That really affected me badly because I have two siblings. If that were ever to happen, I would be really sad because my sister is the third child in my family. I was really upset about that part of the book.

This is her last book Among the Free

Margaret Peterson Haddix is a really great writer who has a way of toughening people’s hearts. She is a teen/ adult thriller/futuristic science fiction author. The Shadow Children series is set in a society that only allows two children per couple. The series includes Among The Hidden; Among The Imposters; Among The Betrayed; Among The Barons; Among The Brave; Among The Enemy; and Among The Free. She is a really good author.

That is why I chose her to be my hero. if you were to read one of her stories you would fall in love with it.
