I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore



What a great book!!   I can't wait to see this movie-- which will be released on February 18th.  I look forward to the next book in this series and I predict this will be a popular book and series in my school's library.  I need to catalog this and get it out asap.  (I read this title before I even cataloged which is a fun librarian perk but also speaks to how interesting the book looked!)

Synopsis from Barnes and Noble

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.

Check out this extended preview from the movie:
