Lorien Legacies Series #2
by Pittacus Lore
I've seen him on the news. Followed the stories about what happened in Ohio. John Smith, out there, on the run. To the world, he's a mystery. But to me ... he's one of us.
Nine of us came here, but sometimes I wonder if time has changed us - if we all still believe in our mission. How can I know? There are six of us left. We're hiding, blending in, avoiding contact with one another ... but our Legacies are developing, and soon we'll be equipped to fight. Is John Number Four, and is his appearance the sign I've been waiting for? And what about Number Five and Six? Could one of them be the raven-haired girl with the stormy eyes from my dreams? The girl with powers that are beyond anything I could ever imagine? The girl who may be strong enough to bring the six of us together?
They caught Number One in Malaysia.
Number Two in England.
And Number Three in Kenya.
They tried to catch Number Four in Ohio - and failed.
I am Number Seven. One of six still alive.
And I'm ready to fight.
"John’s and Marina’s voices are nicely distinct, injecting attitude into this largely run-in-place set-piece actioner. Grades 8-11." - Booklist
"Straight to blockbuster without any stops for character development, worldbuilding or internal logic along the way." - Kirkus
"Like I Am Number Four, The Power of Six only stumbles as it concludes, casting those factors which make the story bold and fresh aside in favor of an easy, cinematic conflict as it prepares for the next title and builds toward a final numerical showdown." - VOYA
"The intense pace, bigger-than-life fight scenes, and good vs. evil showdown set up a series that will easily draw in action-oriented sci-fi fans, who will eagerly await the next round." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
