John Smith - Mysterious, Hero, Alien

Also known as Number Four, has a talent for blending in. He has no choice, really—one headline-making incident and he and his guardian must hit the road again. They can’t risk being exposed to the Modagorians, can’t risk being outed as aliens, can’t risk the truth being discovered. So far John and Henri have crisscrossed the country. Small towns off the beaten path—this is where you’ll find them. Until, that is, they reach Paradise, Ohio. Here John meets Sarah, and suddenly he has a whole new reason for wanting to stay in one place. John has been a fugitive for as long as he can remember. But he can’t run forever. Now is the time to face his destiny.
