If you are looking for an undergraduate text in number theory, you can try looking at this page:

Math 3320 Fall 2008

Download the course notes (chapters 0 to 3). Topics covered include quadratic forms, Diophantine equations, complex numbers, finding rational/integer points in geometric structures such as circles or hyperbolas, topographs, and so forth.

The IMO Compendium

Hope this helps!
