Book Review - I am Number Four

I am Number Four (2010)
Author: Pittacus Lore
Published By: The Penguin Group

I am Number Four is the first book in a hexology (series of six) and is a book with a strong sci-fi theme. The story is about 9 alien children who come to Earth, fleeing another race of aliens (the Mogadorians) who are trying to conquer the universe. The Mogadorians are hunting the children, but they are protected by a charm; they can only be killed in a certain order. The first three are dead, and John Smith is next.

Book Review - Space Demons

Space Demons by Gillian Rubenstein (Scholastic, 1985)

Space Demons is a thrilling novel in which 4 ordinary children are zapped into a computer game, where they must confront their own dark sides if they are to survive. This is the first book in a trilogy.

This book is a fantasy-mystery bordering on science fiction, which targets 10-15 year olds.

I liked the way that the characters came to life. All the children had their own personality. Each personality was believable and reasonable and the characters held to their personality, but still changed naturally.
