by Pittacus Lore John Smith looks like your average teenager, but he's really an alien from the planet Lorien. When he was young, the evil Mogadorians destroyed Lorien, and only nine children, along with their guardians/mentors, escaped. They are numbered, and can only be killed in order. The Mogadorians are relentless, and when John realizes number three has been killed, he knows he's going to have to be extra careful about hiding his whereabouts. But he's just moved to Ohio, and made a friend, and there's this really pretty girl...
This novel has a fun, adventure-filled plot, but the writing is only so-so. It's been made into a movie, and is in theaters now. I haven't seen it, but I suspect this might be a rare case of the movie actually being better than the book.
I watched the movie and I can definitely say the storyline was better than the book. Something about the writing didn't make it as great as it could have been.
