Book description
John Smith is not your average teenager.
He regularly moves from small town to small town. He changes his
name and identity. He does not put down roots. He cannot tell anyone
who or what he really is. If he stops moving those who hunt him will
find and kill him.
But you can't run forever.
So when he stops in Paradise, Ohio, John decides to try and settle
down. To fit in. And for the first time he makes some real friends.
People he cares about - and who care about him. Never in John's short
life has there been space for friendship, or even love.
But it's just a matter of time before John's secret is revealed.
He was once one of nine. Three of them have been killed.
John is Number Four. He knows that he is next . . .
Pittacus Lore is a Loric Elder, from the Planet Lorien, which is
three hundred million miles away. He is approximately ten thousand years
old. He has been to earth hundreds of times, and he is here now.
