Pittacus

The most successful of these products, 2011’s I Am Number Four, was written by Frey and Jobie Hughes under the pseudonym Pittacus Lore and was adapted by DreamWorks in 2011.

By the late 2010s, several big- and small-screen adaptions of hugely popular YA fantasy and science fiction series by Roth, Clare, Rick Yancey, and Pittacus Lore himself had bombed at the box office.

Pittacus Lore, the pseudonym used jointly by James Frey and Jobie Hughes - as the author of the Lorien Legacy series, is up against McKenzie and La Fleur in the books for older readers category.

The big name is Power of Six by Pittacus Lore, the explosive follow-up to I Am Number Four and rumoured to be en route to similar Hollywood treatment.

Pittacus Lore, the leader of Lorien has supposedly been tracing the footsteps of his champions.
