"Sometimes weird things happen to people. Ask Jake. He could tell you about the night he and his friends saw a strange light in the sky that seemed to be heading right for them. That was the night five normal kids learned that humanity is under a silent attack--and were given the power to fight back. Now Jake, Rachel, Cassie, Tobias, and Marco can transform into some of the most dangerous creatures on Earth. And they must use that power to outsmart an evil greater than anything the world has ever seen"--Provided by publisher.

alien spaceship. Inside, Andalite prince Elfangor-Sirinial-Shamtul explains that Yeerks, a parasitic alien race, have already invaded Earth in secret in order to use humanity as slaves in their interstellar empire. Elfangor gives the teens the Andalite to shapeshift into animal forms in order for them to defend themselves and their world until the rest of the Andalite forces arrive in a year. The Yeerks have two alien races under their control: the Hork-Bajir, a peaceful race turned into foot soldiers under Yeerk control, and the Taxxons, a sluglike species who are Yeerk allies. Their leader on earth is Visser Three, the only Yeerk to take control of an Andalite host. In this first story, the teens begin to learn how to use their powers and wage their first guerilla strike on the Yeerk forces, who maintain an underground cavern for regeneration. Grant and Grine faithfully adapt Applegate’s text, bringing Animorphs to a new readership. Great for nostalgic millennials looking to introduce their own kids to this series. Show Less
