I Am Number Four
Pittacus Lore
Science Fiction
⭐⭐⭐⭐✩
Danielle Cooke
I Am Number Four is the first book in the Lorien Legacies series, written by Pittacus Lore (a pen-name for James Frey). The book spent seven straight weeks at #1 on the children's section of The New York Times Bestseller list, and has also been made into a film. I would recommend this book for anyone in middle school and up.
The Mogadorians have destroyed Lorien. Ten Loric children have left their destroyed planet to go to Earth, hoping to one day return to their home. They can only be killed in order. One and Two were killed; then came number Three. This book is about fifteen year-old Number Four, who’s constantly moving from small town to small town, where it would be impossible for Mogadorians to go unnoticed. But what happens when he starts a life in one, and doesn’t want to leave?
I Am Number Four is terrifying in the best and most exciting way, but humor and romance keeps it light and pleasant to read. Even though it is science fiction, this book contains real-life messages, with strong environmental and coming-of-age themes that will make it more than just a fun read.
