Read I am Number Four by Pittacus Lore.
John Smith has just arrived in Paradise, Ohio, just another stop in a string of small towns where the 15-year-old has been hiding out from the Mogadorians. These terrifying aliens are hellbent on destroying him and the other nine Loric children who have sought refuge on Earth. The Mogadorians are picking up the surviving kids in numerical order. The first three are dead, and John's number is up. Will his Legacies, his defining super powers, develop in time for him to fight against the enemy?
