About this ebook

The first book of the #1 New York Times bestselling series and the inspiration for the hit movie from Dreamworks!

John Smith seems like an ordinary teenager, living a normal life with his guardian Henri in Paradise, Ohio. But for John, keeping a low profile is essential, because he is not an ordinary teenager. He’s an alien from the planet Lorien, and he’s on the run. A group of evil aliens from the planet Mogadore, who destroyed his world, are hunting anyone who escaped.

Nine Loric children were sent to Earth to live in hiding until they grew up and developed their Legacies, powers that would help them fight back—and help them save us. Three of them are now dead. John is Number Four, and he knows he’s next….

Michael Bay, director of Transformers, raved: “Number Four is a hero for this generation.” This epic story is perfect for fans of action-packed science fiction like The 5th Wave series by Rick Yancey, The Maze Runner series by James Dashner, and Orson Scott Card’s Ender’s Game.

The battle for Earth’s survival wages on. Read all of the books: #2: The Power of Six, #3: The Rise of Nine, #4: The Fall of Five, #5: The Revenge of Seven, #6: The Fate of Ten, and #7: United as One.

Don’t miss the first book in the brand-new I Am Number Four spin-off series: Generation One.

Ratings and reviews

I honestly believe no teenager would be such an idiot with his life at stake. That is what shocked me in this book, too much idiotic behaviour from the main character. I may be wrong, and people may be able to behave like that, but it made me feel like I was losing my time with every chapter that I kept going. Then, I researched the whole series in the Internet, and my opinion didn't improve. I think I won't be reading any more of the books in these series.

This series is the best hands down! I loved it so much and can't wait until the next book is out. It's a real page turner and you won't want to put it down its so good there are lots of plot twists (but not too many) that keep the book and series so interesting. The movie is okay but the book is so well writen I suggest you go out and buy the book right now no joke!!:D:-D

I have read Divergent trilogy, Legend trilogy, The Young Elites, and many many more, and I must say it is the best book. Worth getting a hardcopy people! I finished I am Number Four - Fall of Five in a WEEK! Only too bad by that time Revenge of Seven wasn't out yet. I have a feeling I am not going to like the next book, (SPOILER ALERT!) NOT with the humans of Earth getting Loric powers!
