I am Number Four By Pittacus Lore

 

There were NINE of us who escaped...

Number ONE was killed in Malaysia.

Number TWO murdered in England.

Number THREE was hunted down in Kenya.

Before they come for the others, they'll come for me.

I AM NUMBER FOUR

John Smith is not your average teenager. He seems like one, acts like one, but he's not. John Smith is not from earth. He has powers that are unimaginable. He moves from town to town. He changes his name and identity. He does not put down root. He cannot tell anyone who or what he really is. If he stops moving, those who hunt him will find him and kill him. But when John decides he has had enough of travelling and wants to settle down is Paradise, Ohio, danger is lurking everywhere and no one is safe. For once in his life he makes some real friends. People he cares about, people who care about him. But it's just a matter of time before his secret is revealed. And there is always a chance for him to be killed, for his loved ones to be killed, gone. Power in numbers. That's what they need. They need to survive.

I recommend this for our age group and up as it has a bit of violence and gruesome scenes. It's a thrilling and captivating science fiction/fantasy book. It has four books in the series. I am Number Four; The Power of Six; The Rise of Nine; and The Fall of Five. This is one of my favourite series, along with Divergent and The Hunger Games. Rated 5 out of 5. It's suitable for both girls and boys including action, romance and mystery. I am Number Four is also a movie, but it's nowhere as near as good as the book. Supposedly there is a fifth book coming out soon... 
All is to be revealed...
