<p><strong>The first book of the #1 <em>New York Times</em> bestselling series and the inspiration for the hit movie from Dreamworks!</strong></p> <p>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 <em>not</em> 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. </p> <p>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....</p> <p>Michael Bay, director of <em>Transformers</em>, 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 <em>Ender's Game</em>. </p> <p>The battle for Earth's survival wages on.
