The people are only allowed to have 2 children so anything after 2 they hide them.
Book where the child has to hide in the attic.
As a result corrine collaborates with her formidable mother to hide the children in the north wing of the mansion where they will be unnoticed by the servants and have access to the attic.
I have mixed feelings about this book.
Among the hidden is about a boy named luke that is a shadow child.
Best known for books like flowers in the attic the wildly over the top 1979 gothic family saga about four children locked in an attic by their grandmother vc andrews died in 1986 but that.
Luke has 2 brothers named mark and matthew and a mother and father.
A shadow child is the 3rd kid.
This is a story about a boy that has been hidden his entire life and find out that there are other hidden children out there as well.
While the children protest their confinement along with grandmother s strict rules which display a fixation on biblical morality and maintaining a distance from siblings of the opposite sex their mother placates them with gifts and promises that they will be released as soon as their grandfather is.
They live with their happy mother and happy father in their happy little house and are overall quite happy together.
In the book you are only allowed to have two children.
But throughout the book there are flashback sequences where the ghost child wants to show the human child what her life was like and says follow me in an excited playful mood.
I am going to buy this book and keep it in my adult collection because out of the hundreds of books i ve read in my life this book is the one i have thought about over the years that made a lasting impression on me as a child.
Anyway flowers in the attic the first book is about these four little happy children named chris cathy carrie and corey dollanganger.
And the human child follows the ghost child up the stairs of the house and whatever attic is up there turns into a beautiful house looking beautiful and in good.
