Luke has never been to school. He’s never had a birthday party, or gone to a friend’s house for an
overnight. In fact, Luke has never had a friend. Luke is one of the shadow children, a third child
forbidden by the Population Police. He’s lived his entire life in hiding, and now, with a new housing
development replacing the woods next to his family’s farm, he is no longer even allowed to go outside.
Then, one day Luke sees a girl’s face in the window of a house where he knows two other children already
live. Finally, he’s met a shadow child like himself. Jen is willing to risk everything to come out of
the shadows — does Luke dare to become involved in her dangerous plan? Can he afford “not” to?

When Katarina Bishop was three, her parents took her on a trip to the Louvre … to case it. For her
seventh birthday, Katarina and her Uncle Eddie traveled to Austria … to steal the crown jewels. When Kat
turned 15, she planned a con of her own — scamming her way into the best boarding school in the country,
determined to leave the family business behind. Unfortunately, leaving “the life” for a normal life
proves harder than she’d expected.

Contest begins to design state’s ‘I Voted’ sticker
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio’s secretary of state has announced a competition to create the state’s new “I
Voted” sticker.
Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose says the competition to design the sticker to be used for at
least the next four years is open to students in grades 6-12. Ohioans receive the stickers when they
vote by mail or in person.
LaRose’s release Monday says his office will select the top designs and the winner will be chosen by a
vote open to all Ohioans. Designs for the sticker must be circular in shape and submitted digitally
through the website Sticker.Ohio.gov.
The competition began Monday and continues through April 28.
The release says LaRose hopes the contest will encourage young people to learn more about the democratic
process and the impact of voting.
