Narrative text

The whole idea of Bob stopping them from exiting that cavern after they encountered him is a really good one! O: I like that he randomly shows up and it's clear that he's a really big threat. Amongst all this, they also have him to worry about, the source of the problem, and he's STILL causing trouble. Even if it's not of his free will, he'd still be trying to sabotage them anyway. :c He's a giant toof, but...makes a great villain, of course. xD

It was really smart that Rudy thought to trap Bob's hand! O:! I don't imagine that he would have been able to do much else to stop the chalk. D: I wonder if the red chalk tried to make him draw anything inside the box. xD *imagines it drawing little insects that bite Bob's hand and annoy him* I mean, it would be really hard to know what else to draw. D: So GO RUDY! USING YOUR BRAIN INSTEAD OF YOUR INFINITE LOVE (which wouldn't work)!

I love that the dragon immediately popped back into action and began to chase them again. This chapter and the last were really fast-paced and it's one of the things that helped to make them always exciting and never dull. It's bigly good that Penny grew to be familiar with the layout of the mine, too-without her knowledge, they probably wouldn't be able to make it through, or not as efficiently anyway. Then again, if they were not efficient then...the dragon would have caught them. It would be a little shocking to find that they couldn't use the idea to create a second trap, too. It's understandable of course, since they ran out of time, but it would have been a real panic moment. D: 

I like the detail that the dragon took a little longer than they thought it would, since it disappeared. The fact that it can be so quiet is a little disconcerting, and reminds me of when it went all ninja on them in chapter 17 and then suddenly appeared, showing just how quiet it can be when it wants to. It can be quiet...then strike. O: While reading, I was curious about what had happened to the dragon, and then when it showed up again, it was in the shackles. I assume that it tried to sneak through the cavern and then shoot out of the mine or something, only to get caught in (branches) the trap. I bet right then was when Rudy and Penny realised that they had to act and act fast, as their opportunity to trap the dragon properly had finally come.

When it first mentioned that the chains and shackles were beginning to come loose far earlier than any of them had anticipated, it was a very "OOOO:" moment, but also a "DDDD:" one. I was rather shocked about that because it was like, "Anything could happen...at any point. D:" and I had no idea how anything was going to turn out. SEE, UNPREDICTABILITY! It happened many times.

I love the drawing the barrier was a really big challenge. I kept having no idea what would happen next. It was really suspenseful that the dragon kept thrashing about and there was the potential to be hit by...anything! o.o As it said, tail, head or limb. Then there was the possibility of things like crumbling rock if it struck the walls or the ceiling and, if the mouth shackle came loose, fire. And of course with the power of the dragon overcoming all of the defences they had, anything was possible. 

The first bad thing was when Rudy was slammed into the wall. D: Then losing his white chalk, then being nearly crushed to death. That was one of the most memorable moment of this chapter for me, for the sheer danger that it caused and all the terror that rushed through his mind because of it. It was a really intense moment that caused a lot of things, such as Penny trying to come to his rescue. I loved that she attempted a rescue though, and I thought that it was cool (XDDD sorry, guys) that it also didn't work. I really liked the idea of her being trapped under the shield and then drawing sides for it to be like a fortress, and that the dragon's tail continuously smashed into it but there was no damage. I bet Penny would have been REALLY dismayed by such a turn of events, as she was forced to sit there and watched as Rudy was being crushed. The fact that the dragon also kept him the attacks on the shield with its tail WHILE having the attention span to focus on crushing Rudy was pretty freaky. 

I honestly had no idea how the situation was going to turn out when Rudy's attempt to distract the dragon by throwing away the green chalk didn't work. It was like, "Oh crap...that was his only plan!" especially after Penny's failed attempt. I mean, she was locked inside her own drawing and had problems of her own to deal with, and even though she knew that the chalk was virtually indestructible, the whole "tail smashing into her shield" thing would still have been pretty shocking, and no doubt the worried thought that the shield might somehow collapse on her after all would have crossed her mind. :c But yeah...when it went to Snap, I knew that he was going to do something. It was sad that he's so bigly injured, so it's great that he wanted to do something despite that but...I also knew it would be bad for him. D: 

AS YOU KNOW, I BIGLY LOVED THE SNAP SACRIFICE SCENE. It's so like him and the way you had it happen was really awesome! OO: It was also really smart of him to think of that. xD I mean, it's really the only way that they could have made it out... Without Snap's selflessness, they would not have been able to do that at all. Rudy would have been crushed (not that you would have let him die, but you know xD) and Penny...who knows. D: So not only is Snap showing his bravery and awesomeness, but he really is saving everyone. Seriously, without him, they would have been totally fried or squashed...or something. I mean, to think that Snap's ONE sacrifice actually saved the whole of ChalkZone is pretty amazing to consider. He's really mindful of everyone else, which is great! 8D I BIGLY love how you portrayed this with the sacrifice... It's really noble, brave, AND REALLY SUSPENSEFUL!

I kept wondering how it was going to turn out. D: And when he would be stopped by the dragon, and what kind of damage he was going to sustain. :c Despite all that he had suffered already, he was still willing to go through with this-for his friends, for ChalkZone... HE'S SO GREAT. ;O; One other thing I thought was pretty cool was when Snap and Penny had that momentary connection. She must have realised just what was happening, and what he was going through in that brief moment, and also come to terms with the fact that she was helpless to aid him and that he was going to suffer for it.

I was relieved when Rudy finally broke out! xD Snap's health took a turn for the worse, but it's really awesome that something good came of the awful thing that happened to him. O: I really liked the scene where the dragon was blowing fire at Rudy, and it was smart of him to connect its head to the wall with the green chalk. And even this part, while they were trying to draw the barrier, was still suspenseful, especially because they kept having to stop and watch out for the dragon again. D: It was smart of Penny to draw that fire-deflecting shield! xD But yeah, they finally finished it and yay for it being done! OOO:

Examining Snap's wounds was like :ccc Because he got a lot of them from the sacrifice. It's good that they could treat the minor wounds, even if they couldn't do more than that, and yeah, I can understand their desperate want to get him to a hospital. D: THEN DOOTH INTERRUPTS, THE TOOF! That was a very "NUUUUUUUUUUU!" moment. xD I was so shocked to see that he had come back and started attacking them again! *angry face* He should have toofed away but NOOOOO, he had to come back and be annoying! It's funny that he came back even after ditching Bob. xD I imagine Bob would not be too happy with his creation, but Dooth still cares! But yeah, it was surprising to see him back again. THEN CERBERUS. AW, YOU CUTIE! I LOVED the fact that he turned good! xDDD That was so awesome! And he's BIGLY cute too. C: I loved seeing him be all sweet and thank them for helping him. xD And the fact that he's so BIG is funny in that regard as well. 

You know, Bob's threats made me think that he probably CAN come back and...Rudy putting him back in the Real World was only temporary. I could be wrong, but I'm wondering. Though I doubt he would want to work with Vinnie and Terry again. xDDD

The story is told by various members of the Garde: Number Four (John Smith), who is on the run with Sam, Six, and Bernie Kosar (aka Hadley, a Lorien Chimæra), and Number Seven (Marina), who's hiding at Santa Teresa, a convent in Spain. While John, Number Six and Sam try to stay ahead of the Mogadorians while searching for the other surviving Loric, Number Seven searches for news of John after his heroic battle at the school that came at the end of I Am Number Four.
Marina is introduced in the story right from the start. She lives in a religious community for children in need. Along with her is Adelina and a few friends she has at the school in Santa Teresa, Spain. Marina greatly dislikes the school.
After failing to adapt to life on Earth and blend in, Number Seven, Marina, and her Cêpan, Adelina, went to the Santa Teresa convent/orphanage and had been living there for 10 years. Adelina has given up hope of Lorien rising and has tried to adapt to life as a nun. She has hidden Seven's Chest and has all but ignored her. Annoyed by Adelina's attitude, Marina has been searching for the now legendary Number Four in order to unite the Garde, but so far, without any success. At the beginning of the book she is five months away from her eighteenth birthday, when she will be able to leave the orphanage.
When a seven-year-old named Ella is brought in Marina instantly becomes good friends with her. Ella helps her find her Chest and Marina drugs Adelina to open it. When she does, they are tracked down by the Mogadorians and barely escape. Adelina finally acknowledges her wrongs and sacrifices herself to save Marina. Marina meets a man named Crayton who explains that Ella is Number Ten, and who is also an Aeternus, having the ability to change her age to that of an age she has already lived. They meet with Six and kill their pursuers. Héctor, a human who is friends with Marina and knows about Lorien, dies in the process. The group of Marina (Seven), Six, Ella, and Crayton resolve to find the other numbers so they can band together.
John wakes up in the motel that he arrived in at the end of I Am Number Four with Six and Sam. They attempt to remain unnoticed (as Four is in the FBI Ten Most Wanted List) and replace their license plate with another driver's before driving through Tennessee. In Tennessee, they are pulled over by a policeman who asks them why they are driving with a license plate that belongs to another vehicle. The officer then realizes who they are, and calls in additional help. Six uses her legacy of controlling the elements to create gale force winds that allow them to escape. Four, Six, and Sam head to Florida, where they all begin training. Four speculates that Sam has a crush on Six. At first Sam denies it, but eventually admits that he does. Four knows he has a crush on Six too, but tries to push those feelings away because he wants to love Sarah.
Six convinces Four to open his chest. While going through the items in the chest, Four shows Sam the Solar System item. Because Seven touches her transmitter (unaware of what it is), the Solar System morphs into Earth with Santa Teresa displayed by a red dot. Seven is heard screaming at Adelina. Four opens his letter from Henri in private, and learns that not only are the nine Garde members actually going to be the next nine elders, but that Sam may be correct about his father's alien abduction, and that his father was assigned to Four and Henri to teach them Earth's ways. Four shows Sam the letter and Sam begins to cry upon learning about his father's fate.
Later that night, Four and Six are both suffering from sleep insomnia and decide to take a walk. Six uses her invisibility legacy to help them remain unseen. They almost share a kiss, but Four pulls away because he refuses to think he has feelings for anyone other than Sarah. When they return home, their house explodes after the Mogadorians learn their location because of Four opening his chest. Sam saves some items and hides in the pool, but a short battle with the Mogadorians ensues where the Mogadorians are defeated, but not before taking Four's chest.
Sam, thinking that his father left something for them in Paradise, forces the group to return. They retrieve a stone tablet and some papers, but are unable to decipher their meaning. Four secretly meets up with Sarah. Upon their reunion, they hug and kiss. Sarah briefly checks her phone and John asks who she is texting so late at night. She tells him it's Emily, and they go back to their conversation. Sarah repeatedly tries to persuade Four to turn himself in, but he refuses each time. The FBI shows up and takes Four and Sam as prisoners. Six helps them escape, and Four realizes that Sarah was actually texting the police and not Emily.
The group decides to split up after Four and Sam decide that they want to go retrieve Four's chest in West Virginia, Sam only because he hopes to find his father, while Six decides to go to Spain to rescue Seven. When Four and Sam drop Six off at the airport, she kisses Sam on the cheek to say goodbye which makes him blush. Four and Six share a passionate kiss on the lips to say goodbye. Four tells Six that Sam has a crush on her, to which she says that she has a crush on him too. Four, confused, tells her that he thought she liked him, to which she says that since Four loves her and Sarah, it's only fair that she can love Sam and Four. She gives them an address to which they are supposed to rendezvous in two weeks and she departs. Sam puts the address in his pocket, and they head off for West Virginia.
Six arrives at Santa Teresa to assist in her battle with Seven, and helps her defeat the Mogadorians. She finds out that a second ship left after the one that carried the other Lorics to Earth, and carried another member of the Garde, Ella, or Number Ten. Six, Seven, Ten, and Crayton, Ten's substitute cêpan, head out to find other members of the Garde.
Once at the end of the road in West Virginia, Sam and Four follow a map left by Six until they reach the Mogadorian cave. Four uses a Xlitharis to transfer Six's invisibility legacy to himself, although he will only have the legacy for one hour. Right when the legacy expires, they receive the chest along with another chest (that is later revealed to belong to Nine). Four uses fire to defeat many Mogadorians, and the main power goes out which allows Four and Sam to rescue Nine. Sam is determined to find his father, who he thinks is among the prisoners, and Four and Nine have no other choice but to leave him there after a force field separates them. Four realizes that the rendezvous point address is with Sam, but Nine tells him not to worry and that if the rendezvous is meant to occur, then it will. Four tells him to head north, and they begin driving.

....
Now that I have successfully finished “I Am Number Four”, I think this novel have a extraordinary story, because battle at the school that came at the end of I Am Number Four. Marina in the story right from the start. She lives in a religious community for children in need. Along with her is Adelina and a few friends she has at the school in Santa Teresa, Spain. Marina greatly dislikes the school, and so many thingks teliing the battle. my feelings of what is occurring in the plot have varied, connections have grown and aided my understanding and also I have discovered new hidden author’s messages and new themes. I am honestly sorry to announce that this reading response may be long, but I truly did enjoy this book greatly and recommend it to any human or alien :P  who can read a novel and understand its content no matter what gender because it is very appealing to both. There are some scenes of violence, well actually the most part of the end of the book is very violent so I do recommend you to be at least 11 and up to read this book. I am also ecstatic to announce that Pittacus Lore’s second book in this cliff-hanging series is called “The Power of Six” and hopefully the next book I do a reading response on.    -regina andrilla-
