Nine of us came here. We look like you. We talk like you. We live among you. But we are not you. We can do things you dream of doing. We have powers you dream of having. We are stronger and faster than anything you have ever seen. We are the superheroes you worship in movies and comic books—but we are real.
Our plan was to grow, and train, and become strong, and become one, and fight them. But they found us and started hunting us first. Now all of us are running. Spending our lives in shadows, in places where no one would look, blending in. we have lived among you without you knowing. But they know.
They caught Number One in Malaysia.
Number Two in England.
And Number Three in Kenya.
They killed them all.
I am Number Four. I am next.

If you like sci fi and superheroes, this book is for you. John Smith appears to be an ordinary teenager, but he is an alien on the run from merciless enemies hunting him and the eight others like him. Constantly changing his identity and moving to different towns with his guardian, Henri, John has no real past and no true home. However, in the small Ohio town where he now lives, he discovers love, powerful new abilities, and a connection to others of his kind.
Have you ever dreamed of becoming best friends with an alien? Well, it's hard to. John can testify. Well, he is only sometimes John. Sometimes he is Eric. Or Mark. It depends on the town. The only thing he always is is Four. There were nine. They came to Earth from the planet Lorien after it was attacked to preserve the race and avenge it. When John goes to Paradise, Ohio, it turns out to be different. John falls in love with a girl named Sarah, receives his Legacies (superpowers), and then the danger starts to creep up. I am in love with this series. It's just enough fantasy to be considered still realistic. (If you believe in aliens) I have read about four of the books in the series and just a bit ago I found out there are more, and I am exhausting my resources to find them. And there's a movie! I couldn't believe it! If there's one thing you need to know, it's that I Am Number Four can transport you where you haven't been before. --BKS
I just started it and it's already amazing!

I am number 4 is one of my favorite series by far. It is an action-packed trilogy which is a bit like the hunger games, though also has it's own quirk's (ex: Aleins, powers) but i would toattly recomend it to anybody who like the hunger games. If you like this fallow me!!!

This is my FAVORITE series. READ IT and I have read each book a thousand million times. This series is finished, if you want to read without having to wait for the next book.
It's sooooooo good!!!!! This is a story full of adventure about aliens who look like us and live among us. I totally recommend this book if you're someone who's in love with action and fiction. +thers a series
"I am Number Four" is an action packed thrill ride that keeps you on the edge of you're seat at all times! I had watched the movie, so I decided that I wanted to read the book. And man, this is one of my favorite books I've ever read. It connects with the reader, and drags them into the world of Number Four and the Lorics. You begin to understand Four's situation, and why he's on Earth running from the Mogodorians. While he's on Earth, he starts to make new friends, such as Sarah and Sam. As John (Four) starts school, he comes in conflict with the school bully, Mark James. Mark gives John a hard time while he's at school, until he goes to far. John had it, so he told Mark to never cross him or his friends ever again. Near the end of the book, Mark, along with Sarah and Sam, discover John's ability. They decide to help him out, and they eventually meet number six, who helps them with their fight against the evil Mogodorians. After all, this book is amazing, and I couldn't put it down. It was absolutely Incredible in every way. I totally recommend this book to whoever's looking for a good friend.
