The Power of Six by Pittacus Lore

         In the book the power of six by Pittacus Lore, the characters made the story. John Smith, Sam, six, marina, Ella, and the mogadorians. They made the story real.

        This book is about aliens from a different planet; only people just don’t know it yet. Nin e to be exact came to earth with a guide to help them on their journey. The mogadorians are the bad guys who want those nine dead and three are already. John smith A.K.A number four must find the other five and defeat the mogadorians for good. So far he has number six, and a human named Sam. As they journey trying to stay hidden and find the other four they have faced several threats. Later on they find seven, nine, and ten. Now all they have to do is find five and eight and win. There is also marina and Ella. Marina is number seven and she was living in an orphanage with her guide and 18 other girls younger than her. As her life went by she discovered new things and new abilities. When Ella came along her adventures became more real, changing her life around.

        When I say that the characters made the story is that the actions of the characters that make the story what it is. For example john smith had a girlfriend named Sarah and they were in love. One night he went to find Sarah and she ratted him out to the police. This made the story so much better because it was something you would have never expected to happen. This is something that showed how these characters made the story.

        Another example of how the characters make the story is when marina found out that Ella was number ten. Marina thought she was just a little girl and so did I. it turns out that Ella had the power to change between ages. When I read this I was shocked because it showed me how the little details can reveal a lot about a book.

        I thought that this book was amazing because of the twist that the characters went through and how much each character has changed.
