I am Number Four is a book about a boy called John Smith. He lives on Earth, with his companion Henri, but originally comes from the planet 'Lorien'. Many years before, the people of Lorien were destroying their planet by producing and using so many weapons and things, but they managed to change their ways before it was too late. The 'Mogadorians' however, from the life sustaining planet of 'Mogadoria', were doing the same thing to their own planet, but they didn't change their ways, and their planet was soon barren and uninhabitable. They attacked Lorien for their supplies and they greatly outnumbered the Loric people, killing all but nineteen of them. These nineteen were nine Loric children, nine protectors for them and the spaceship pilot. They managed to escape and they fled to Earth. To try and protect them, a charm was put on the children, meaning they could only be killed by the Mogadorians in a certain order. These Mogadoriens however, found them on Earth, and stated killing them in order. They found number one in Malaysia, number two in England, and number three in Kenya. John, is number four. He must keep himself hidden from the Mogadoriens, but he is sick of running. He just wants to stay in the same place for a while and he then begins to get go know people and make friends. But he is not human, and he is much stronger and faster than them. He has certain powers that they do not. His secret soon begins to unravel, and because of this the Mogadorians are getting closer. He has friends on Earth now, and he wants to protect them as well as himself. This could slow him down. But will they catch him, or will he escape before it's too late?
