Have we run out of numbers yet? The further this series gets away from the involving humanity of the first volume, I Am Number Four (2010), the less interesting it gets. Now it's a mishmash of interchangeable superpowers, uninspiring wisecracks, and plot hurdles that feel thrown only to allow more volumes to get into print. This round, Six and crew are after Eight's body, before a new revelation sends them to a magic portal in some Mayan ruins; Ella is aboard a spaceship with the mwa-ha-ha Setrákus Ra, who calls her his granddaughter; and John is still kicking ass all over the country and whatnot. A couple of semi-interesting characters do exist double-crossing former friend and a Mogadorian gone good t even these nudges in the right direction don't fully compensate for the flimsy world building. Still, by the end, a full-on alien invasion has begun, and that ought to make for some good explosions, right? Given the series wild popularity, there are plenty of fans who will tear through this and hope for more adventures from their favorite characters.
Horn Book
Picking up where The Fall of Five ended, Ella has been captured by the Mogadorians, a violent alien race hunting the Lorien Garde on Earth. Meanwhile, Marina (a.k.a., Number Seven) seeks revenge for betrayals the Garde has faced. The fifth installment's fast-paced action will please devoted fans of the series, who probably won't get confused by the three alternating points of view.

The fifth book of the #1 New York Times bestselling I Am Number Four series!
The Garde have suffered an unbearable loss. Number Five has betrayed them. Eight is gone forever. Ella has been kidnapped. The others are now scattered.
In Chicago, John makes the unlikeliest of allies: a Mogadorian named Adam, who has switched sides. Adam knows the Mogs secrets, and he knows where to hit them: their command base near Washington, DC. But during the assault, John learns he and the Garde might be too late. The Mogadorians have commenced their ultimate invasion plans.
Meanwhile, Six, Nine, and Marina make their way through the Florida Everglades, hot on the trail of the traitorous Five. With the development of a new Legacy, Marina finally has the power to fight back—if her thirst for revenge doesn't consume her first. The Garde may be broken and divided once more, but they will not be defeated. As long as one still stands, the battle for Earth's survival is not lost.
Michael Bay, director of Transformers, raved: “Number Four is a hero for this generation.” This epic young adult series is perfect for fans of action-packed science fiction like The Fifth Wave series by Rick Yancey, The Maze Runner series by James Dashner, and Orson Scott Card’s Ender’s Game.
The battle for Earth’s survival wages on. Read the rest of the series: #6: The Fate of Ten, and #7: United as One.
Don’t miss the first book in the brand-new I Am Number Four spin-off series: Generation One.
