Children of Jubilee by Margaret Peterson Haddix
3.0
If you haven't read the first two books, you can still understand what's going on but it really will help you to read them before starting this one.
It's a decent conclusion to the series, and as always I'm happy when aliens aren't always humanoid. The life in the mines and the lack of control the children have over their bodies and actions during their time there is a little frightening but the way in which they figure out how to overcome this is clever. Sadly, there are pacing issues here: the mines go on too long, the ending confrontation is far too quick.
