One of her most notable works, "Among the Hidden," follows the story of a family forced to live in hiding due to strict population laws. Haddix has received numerous awards for her writing, including the ALA Notable Book Award, the National Book Award Finalist, and the California Young Reader Medal. Her books have been translated into over 30 languages and have sold millions of copies worldwide.
