AMONG THE HIDDEN



How Would You Feel If There Was A Law Agains You Living?

About the author Margaret Peterson Haddix (If you want to sound like you know what you’re talking about, you can say it was a grain and livestock farm. Or, if you’re trying to stretch your report because you’re afraid it’s not going to be long enough, you can say something like, “a farm where her father raised corn, soybeans, wheat, hogs and cattle.” There. Lots of words. Does that help?) || (you probably figured that one out) || And, not to sound too much like a mom, but, really, next time start on your report before the night before, okay? ||
