I Am Number Four: The Lost Files: Six's Legacy by Pittacus Lore

4.0

It seems to be a popular trend to release short stories or novella's for a series to warm up readers for the upcoming release of a book. Some of these are nice-to-have-but-nothing-special and more for the already existing fans of the series or to give readers a nice intro to the series (for example [b:Survivors|10967342|Survivors (Aftertime, #1.5)|Sophie Littlefield|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1309541169s/10967342.jpg|15885316] or [b:First Frost|11763146|First Frost (Mythos Academy #0.5)|Jennifer Estep|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51nP91WtD-L._SL75_.jpg|16713914]). Others are so great that you really don't want to miss out on them (for example [b:The Strange Case of Finley Jayne|11130686|The Strange Case of Finley Jayne (Steampunk Chronicles, #0.5)|Kady Cross|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1303414416s/11130686.jpg|16053889]). Six's Legacy definitely belongs in the last category. What a treat! It's a well rounded, fast paced story that perfectly complements I am Number Four and leaves you wanting for more. Six is such a cool chick and we don't get to know her very well in the first book so this was a great story to get to know her better.

Six's Legacy is supposed to be a prequel to the series (book 0.5), but it was released after I am Number Four. In any case, it is fine to read as a standalone, but makes a lot of sense if you already read the first book in the series because you are more familiar with the backstory.
