Summary:
It's the middle of Fall and John is loving life in Paradise (ohio). He is enjoying so much that when it comes time to train, he doesn't want to. Henri is trying to teach him the power of telekineses (the ability to move objects with your mind) and John is discovering that it is extremely hard. After a failed practice, Henri sits John down to have a "talk". He tells John that it might be time to relocate because something just isn't feeling right about being in Ohio anymore. John gets really mad and he and Henri get into an argument on whether or not they should stay and if John knows that he has a duty to his planet and so on...
At school, Sam is avoiding John so he goes to Sam's house and demands to know what's wrong. Sam freaks out and wants to know who the h-e-double hockey sticks John is. John realizes that Sam must have noticed his lights during the halloween fiasco and quickly makes up some excuse. When Sam believes John's story they start talking about the Mogadorians. Sam shows John the article he found about how they want to destroy earth and then the get talking aobut alien abductions...Sam believes that his dad was abducted by aliens (crazy right? well, in this book it might actually be true...)
On Thankgiving, Henri goes down to Athens Ohio to try and talk to the publishers of this alien magazine about the article talking about the Mogadorians and promises John that he will be home in time to go to dinner with Sarah's family. John waits and waits and when Henri never shows up he decides to go to Sarah's house alone. He is freaking out when it comes time to eat and Henri still hasn't shown up. After dinner, John is so stressed that his telekineseis forms (woohoo!) and when he leaves early, he goes directly to Sam's house and asks for help. They decide to ileagally drive down to Athens and go searching for Henri (wow talk about adventure!!). Once in Athens, they find the workplace for the magazine. This is when things get good!! Sam decides to follow this strange man that works at the place while John goes and looks around inside the place. When John gets inside this nerdy guy confronts him, but John (because he is so manly and strong) puts him in his place. He finds Henri down in the basement. Just when they are about to get Sam and run for it, the creepy guy comes back and John whoops his butt with telekinesis. They go back upstairs to interrogate that nerdy guy that John tied up. The learn that the Mogadorians knew about that article, and that they are tracking where each Garde is. The good news is that they still have no clue where number 4 is! Just as they are about to leave, the mogadorians actually show up (oh dear). John and the others just barely escape, but luckily they escape unnoticed :)
Response:
Something I have noticed while reading this book is that even though there are a lot of action packed stuff, it is spread out nicely so I don't get to overwhelmed and so I don't get bored. I really like this because jsut when I start thinking that I'm getting kind of bored, something exciting happens that gets me hooked all over again :) The more I read this, the more I am looking forward to seeing the movie...Alex Pettyfer is going to look so good when he is tormenting those alien magazine guys! :D
