Now that I told you about where I found this book and went on about why I love to read, let's get onto the book review. Number four he is a Garde from the planet Lorien. Lorien was destroyed by the Mogdorians, who destroyed their own planet through their lack of care for their planet. Nine children and nine guardians were able to escape Lorien before it was destroyed. Number four was one of those nine that was able to escape Lorien before it was destroyed.
The nine Garde's that escaped Lorien before it was destroyed flew to Earth. Earth was supposed to be their safe haven. They were here on Earth to train so they were able to fight. However, the Mogdorians managed to escape with them when they flew off Lorien and now they are killing the Garde's one by one. Will four be able to survive the attack of the Mogdorians? Read this book to find out!
I must be honest with you, in middle school, Alien books were really not my type of books. However, this book had me hooked from the very beginning. I remember reading this book past the time my mom would tell me lights out. I would sit on my bed with my reading light hooked to this book and I would read until I fell asleep. This book keeps you interested and keeps you guessing until the very end. It is defiantly worth the read and you will love it!
This is a book?! I loved the movie when it came out, but had no idea that it was a book as well. You have the best list of books.
ReplyDeleteI am happy to hear that you have loved reading since day one. You sound a bit like Donalyn Miller and I bet that is how your future classroom will be. I am an underground reader by her definition. I love reading, but I hated it during school. Now that I have the freedom to choose the books I want to read, I am much like you and getting the question, "why do you like to read?". I never have an answer. I just get right back into my book.
I want to suggest a book to you that I read in middle school and read it in one day. I became the student who reads during math because of that book. But for the life of me, I cannot remember the name of it! I will be back to let you know.
Now onto the book... I remember loving this story, but I hardly remembered what it was about. Thank you for the catch-up! As I have gotten older, I haven't been a fan of the post-apocalyptic or utopia stories. They may have been too overplayed just like how some horror movies seem to be exactly the same movie after movie.
Thanks again for a flashback of middle school and another book to read!
Marlee,
ReplyDeleteI am Number Four is one of my favorite books. I remember reading the first book wondering what kind of powers I wanted to have. I did not wish to glowing hands!!! I loved the characters in the story and their relationships. Not just the romances but also the friendships and the guardians. They are all supportive of each other when if they have seen a little strange to each other. Reading your post made me anxious to get it back into my hands. I do have to finish the last book in the series first!
I absolutely loved this movie, even if it's a little creepy that he is an alien. Truthfully, I didn't know that it was book. I was slightly annoyed that they never made a second movie, but since it's a book series I can read the books to find out the ending. My reading list keeps getting longer and longer, but I would like to add this to the list. I'm so happy that you found a good book!
