The Power of Six

By Pittacus Lore

John Smith, aka Number Four, is still running from the Mogs, with the help of his best friend, Sam, and Number Six.  They are also accused of being terrorists after escaping the town of Paradise, Ohio, where the Mogs found them and the resulting battle destroyed the high school and killed 5 innocent people.

Meanwhile, Marina, or Number Seven, is in hiding in a small Spanish convent.  She knows about John and his friends from the internet, and is intent of finding them.  But she also has Mogs chasing her, and has no idea how to get to America, or how to use her "legacy" powers.

I really enjoyed the first book, I Am Number Four, so I was disappointed by this book.  John & his friends just move around randomly, living in abandoned houses and miraculously finding transportation without a lot of effort.  If they are so "wanted", why is it so easy for them to move around?  Also, the whole love triangle was awkward and kind of pointless.  The action towards the end was good... it felt like there was finally some plot line,  and I enjoyed the alternate story-lines between John and Marina.  The ending saved this book.
