I Am Number Four

There were Seven.  Seven children who escaped the doomed planet of Lorien with their Cepan.  Upon leaving, each child was given a charm that would protect them - as long as they stayed apart.

When they arrived on Earth, each pair - 1 child and 1 Cepan, disappeared.  They remain safe only as long as they remain separate.  They live their lives on the run, hiding from the terror that haunts them.  For they are hunted.  Hunted by the same Mogadorians that destroyed Lorien, the seven that remain must be killed in the order in which they are numbered - only the charm given them upon Lorien protects them on this strange planet.  As each is killed, a brand burns itself around the ankle of each of the survivors.  Each of the children has at least one Legacy - a powerful gift that will allow them to defend themselves.  But the legacies don't develop until the children become teenagers.

We join Number Seven in Florida.  He is enjoying an evening on a boat with others from school when the third brand appears on his ankle.  He and his Cepan, Henri, pack up and take off for yet another random destination.




They settle in Paradise, Ohio.  Number Four decides to go by the name of John when he enrolls in high school.  For the first time, John decides to fight back against the bullies and not just melt into the background.  John also makes friends.  And finds a girlfriend.




 As they search for more information on the Mogadorians, John is shocked to find just how close they are to taking over the Earth - the same way they took over Lorien.  The race to find out more about the Mogadorians, develop John's Legacies, and run before their location is discovered makes this a compelling read that will leave you hanging on the edge of your seat!
