Among the Brave is a 2004 young adult science fiction novel by American writer Margaret Peterson Haddix, about a time in which drastic measures have been taken to quell overpopulation.

The house is raided soon afterward and thanks to luck and his own vast knowledge from reading during his years in hiding, Trey manages to dive to safety behind a flowerpot.

Trey snatches them away at the last moment, resolving to take small steps to destroy the Population Police from within along with Lee, Nina, the chauffeur, and Nedley.

Booklist's Carolyn Phelan praised Haddix for "writ[ing] a compelling story, full of intrigue, danger, and adventure.

"[1] On behalf of School Library Journal, Tina Zubak noted that "elements of the plot seem timeworn and not all of it is plausible", but concluded, "this book provides a fast and wild ride that will appeal to reluctant readers".
