Comparison
The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton compares to Among the Hidden by Margaret Peterson Haddix. In both stories, there were young kids hiding from the law. For example, in The Outsiders, Ponyboy and Johnny were running from the police and hiding themselves. In Among the Hidden, Luke and Jen had to hide themselves from the government. Luke was an un-accounted for child, hanging out with a government's child named Jen. So in both of these books, officials were being either lied to, or hidden from.
