Author:Pittacus Lore
Before Number Four, three members of the Lorien Garde were captured and killed. Their stories have never been told - until now . . .
They caught Number One in Malaysia. Number Two in England. And Number Three in Kenya. Now, for the first time, we hear their accounts of what happened - how they discovered their powers, how they hid from the Mogadorians and when they started running for their lives.
This is the tale of those ill-fated members of the Garde. These are The Fallen Legacies.

—— Anne FineSo what makes these different to any other set of classics? In a moment of inspiration Random House had the bright idea of actually asking Key stage 2 children what extra ingredients they could add to make children want to read. And does it work? Well, put it this way...my 13-year-old daughter announced that she had to read a book over the summer holiday and, without any prompting, spotted The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas...and proceeded to read it! Now, if you knew my 13-year-old daughter, you would realise that this is quite remarkable. She reads texts, blogs and tags by the thousand - but this is the first book she has read since going to high school, so all hail Vintage Classics!
