I am number four.

I Am Number Four. By: Pittacus Lore

    Imagine If you were different from everybody else, for good or bad. You are from a different planet and you have powers unlike any human. You are stronger and faster than humans can even imagine. You lived on a planet called Lorien which is the closest life sustaining planet to earth.  Your planet is not like earth in the sense of the way it is run. The parents on your planet do not watch over you but it is your grandparents. At birth you are given to your grandparents to be your gaurdian as your parents go to keep the planet healthy. There are certain people called the garde. the garde is born with special powers. They have a different person who is trained to help them develop their powers, The person is known as a cepan and the powers are called legacies.  The legacies do not come all at once but overtime.  there is another planet not far from lorien called mogadore.  on this planet live some hideous beasts called mogadorians .  About ten years ago the mogadorians used up everything they had on their planet and attacked lorien for supplies and new lives.  One brilliant man decided to put you and 8 other legacies on a ship headed to earth.  The man put a charm on you so that if the mogadorians came to earth you could only be killed in your number order.  you have been on earth for ten years now with your cepan Henri.  The mogadorians followed you to earth with lans to do the same to it as they did to lorien.  You can only be killed in number order and each time one is killed a scar burns around your ankle. Usually in front of people forcing you to move away.  Three are dead you are number 4. After number 3 died you and Henri pack up, burn your pile of fake ids and move to Paradise, Ohio. You have been living in ohio for about a month and are beginning to make some friends. By Halloween you have a girlfriend, who's ex was captain of the football team, and also a buddy named Sam. On Halloween there is a party and a corn maze with a haunted hayride. you go on the ride and that is when Sam finds out who you are when you are forced to use your powers. He avoids you for the next couple of weeks and you decide to go to his house he is terrified of you but you tell him you are not human.In the book John says, "I am not who you think I am,what im about to tell you you can not  share with a single soul." Sam is reading an article about the mogadorians which no one knows exists. So who wrote the article and how. Henri decides to go to the place of origin from the article. When he doesn't return you and sam go after him. You find two guys have captured hime and kept him there because threats. As you save him you use your powers again. Then the mogadorians, who ypou have hid from all this time show up and you barely escape. Later on Sarah finds out who you are when you save her from a fire. Likewise with Sam, Henri is forced to tell her the whole story and tell her to keep silent. Later the mogadorians attack your school with their whole army to kill number four. Do you survive? I really like this book and I think I will read the next book. I would recommend this book to people of all ages. This book is really connecting to a lot of people because like Number 4 many people think that they are different at times whether that be a good or bad thing.
