Among the Imposters

Among the Imposters by Margarett Peterson Haddix

The summary: Luke Garner is an illegal child in his family because he was the third child born. For most of his life, he'd been safe, hiding within the confines of his family's farm. But now, because of his association with a rebel third — short for third child — named Jen, Luke has had to take on a new identity. He is now Lee Grant, a new student to the Hendricks School for Boys. Jen's father, Mr. Talbot, obtained the new identity card for Luke. Mr. Talbot drops him off at the school and advises him to blend in with the other boys. This is close to impossible since Luke has had no contact with anyone but his family and Jen for his entire life.
