Really great book with a new twist to it. The planet of Lorien was over taken by an evil alien species known as the Mogadorian. Several of the Lorien children were sent to Earth with hopes of their planet one day returning back to normal. The Mogadorian followed those children to Earth though searching, killing, and now wanting to take over our very own planet. This is the story of one of those children, number four, who has made Earth a home for himself and will do anything to protect it and the ones he loves. 
 John (number four) and Henri have spent their entire lives running and hiding from the Mogadorian. That is until they reach a town called Paradise where John realizes he's tired of running and finally wants to find a place to call home. With numbers 1 - 3 already being killed the Mogadorian are on the hunt now for number 4, so staying quiet and hidden is kind of sort of really important. It would've been an easier job if John hadn't started crushing on the head jock of the school's ex girl-friend. Sarah, the girl, is such an honest and genuine character that she's hard not to fall in love with though. Despite everything that she goes through with John she never let's their love waiver. Talk about Lorien love, right? 
 I really enjoyed John's sarcasm. He would be so blunt to his friends about being an alien, but they would just brush it off like he was joking. Specially all the conversations with Sarah such as "They're just lucky I didn't use my superpowers and throw them into the next county."
