Among the Betrayed is a 2002 novel by Margaret Peterson Haddix, about a time in which drastic measures have been taken to quell overpopulation.

[1] Unlike the first, it is not told from the viewpoint of Luke Garner, but instead from that of Nina Idi, the shadow child who was arrested with Jason Barstow at the end of Among the Impostors.

Elodie Luria had left a dreary but emotionally comfortable life with her three aunts and grandmother.

She is moved into a different cell with three other children, Matthias, Percy, and Alia, who are ten, nine, and six years old.

The children hide by the outdoor garden until they are caught by Lee and Trey, who recognize her as Jason's girlfriend.
