I AM NUMBER FOUR pgs. 1-75

by: Pittacus Lore (I don;t really think this is his realy name...just sayin)

Summary:
The book startes with a description of how number 3 got killed. Chapter one is when we really get introduced to number 4...aka John Smith. He tells us about who he is and where he comes from.  He is number 4, a Garde from the planet Lorien. There are 8 others like him and the Mogadorians are hunting each and every one of them, in order. 3 have already been killed so number four and his protector, Henri, must move away...again. They have lived in almost every single state in the United States, and this time they have to find a really good hiding place because the Mogdorinas are hunting him now. Number 4 and Henri move to Paradise, Ohio. They create new identities so that they have a story to tell when he regisiters for school.

On number 4's first day of school, Henri warns him to blend in, not to do anything stupid, and call him immdiately if he thinks his legacies are forming (each garde has a legacy, it's like their superpower).  Well, number 4 doesn't really blend in because almost insantly a girl named Sarah notices him and tries to take his picture. Trouble starts brewing when Sarah's x-boyfriend sees number 4 talking to her. He causes all sorts of problems which is why number 4's first legacy starts to form. His hands get really hot and start to glow. To try and get away unoticed, number 4 abandons his book bag and hides in a dark room. Eventually Henri shows up and takes number 4 back home. Number four realizes that his phone is missing and knows that Mark stole it. Once home, Henri tells number 4 that his power is gonig to be able to resist fire, like never burn. And that he needs to control his temper because getting upset can trigger the light in his hands.

The next day at school, number 4 walks up to Mark and tells him that he has until the end of the day to give him his phone back or else bad things will happen. In his Science class, number 4 meets a boy named Sam. I think they sort of become friends.  At lunch, number 4, Sam, Mark, and one of Mark's jock friends named Kevin all get sent to the principals office. This is because Mark threw a meatball at number 4 and Sam, and so number 4 went and kneed Kevin in the balls. In the office, Mark and Kevin get let off the hook simply because  there is this big interview about the football team tomorrow. Number 4 and Sam just get a stong warning. Later, while number 4 is in home ec., Sarah walks into the classroom and offers to be his partner. Number 4 is totally crushing on SArah, he just doesn't know what those types of feelings are like yet. They totally bond, and then at the end of the day Sarah gets number 4's phone from Mark so they can avoid the fight. Number 4 tells Sarah thanks and takes his sweet old time showing Mark that he miraculosly got his phone back...

LOOK just how scrumtious this guy is....sigh :)

So, I have decided to read this book because I really want to see the movie (the guy that stars in it is totally hot and he's British, so that alone will make it good haha) and I thought that, based on what i've seen in trailers, I wil lprobably get conused. So I hope reading the book will help me be un-confused when I actually do get to see the movie (don't worry, I will have a movie reveiw/comaparriosn post). So far I am actually kinda understanding what's going on, which makes me happy :) There are a few things that are really vague and confusing, but I'm sure that as the book goes on it will all figure itself out :)

WATCH THIS!!
