But when Tobias discovers Visser Three's newest feeding place, the kids decide they have to check it out.But there's no assigned leader. Now Rachel, Tobias, Cassie, Marco, and Ax have a problem.

The fight for the planet continues in this gripping installment -- and the Animorphs must make an exacting choice.The last time Rachel and her friends entered the giant Yeerk pool beneath their town things went very bad. This time they plan to be careful, and sneak in as roaches, just to spy.Once they're inside, though, the team gets caught. But right as things are looking their most dire, everything stops. Everything.Then Rachel and the Animorphs hear a voice. It belongs to a very old, very powerful being, and it says it can save them. But if it does, the Earth will be defenseless.

The Yeerks have decided to try a little experiment. They've decided that if they can develop a way to make people more "willing" to be infested, they can speed up Earth's invasion. So the Yeerks try to invent a substance that will take away the human ability to make a decision. A substance that will eliminate free will.Now the Animorphs are not only faced with trying to slow down the Yeerks' invasion, but they also have to put an end to the genetic testing on a small group of humans. This time there's only one chance to stop the Yeerks. And if anything goes wrong, it's all over...

Really big trouble is an understatement these days. The war with the Yeerks is full on -- and it's definitely going to get worse. But Cassie and the other Animorphs have a lot more going on than just trying to stay alive. Now they've got to actively protect their families and the free Hork-Bajir. And they no longer believe they can do it alone. The Yeerks are just too powerful.So Cassie and the others have to ask themselves a very important question: Is it time to increase their numbers? They all remember what happened with David -- the Animorph gone bad. But this time do they really have a choice?

The Animorphs have one true ally in their battle against the Yeerks: the sentient androids known as the Chee. So when they discover that the Chee -- including their friend Erek -- are in trouble, they have no choice but to help.But the Chee's problem is much deeper than anything the kids could have imagined. It's hidden in the ocean. So far down that no human has ever travelled there and survived. The Animorphs realize what will happen if Visser Three discovers the valuable secrets of the Chee. One of which is the existence of the Animorphs...

Marco's mom is back. But she's not Visser One anymore. Marco's not even sure if she's still a Controller, but he's determined to find out. No matter what it takes. No matter what might happen. Marco wants his mom back.Jake and the other Animorphs realize that Marco is under some serious stress. And that the situation with his mom could very well jeopardize everything they've worked for. Now they also have to wonder if Marco will be the one to give away the secret of the Animorphs.

There is a chance for the free Hork-Bajir on Earth to start their own rebellion against the Yeerks. They have the numbers, but they don't have the weapons. They've learned from the last surviving Arn -- the race that created the Hork-Bajir -- that Aldrea, daughter of Prince Seerow, knew the location of a stolen Yeerk vessel.Unfortunately, the only way to recover the ship is to ask Aldrea herself -- and she's dead. The Arn have Aldrea's persona stored, but to bring her back, they need a host body, and Cassie, Rachel, or Toby Hamee are the closest matches. The only problem is that once Aldrea gets into one of their minds, she may not want to come out...

The war between the Yeerks and the Animorphs is still raging. There are no more secrets -- but there are plenty of lies. The kids are fighting harder than they ever thought they could. And they're about to make the biggest decision they've ever had to face. A decision that may eventually break them all.Ax and the Animorphs know that destroying the Yeerk pool would give them a huge chance to take back Earth. And they've figured out a way to do it. But there's no way to destroy the pool without also destroying the innocent humans caught by the Yeerks. But there's no more time to think about it. There's only yes or no...

The wildly popular series by K.A. Applegate is back! The first six books of Animorphs return, with striking new lenticular covers that morph.Marco never wanted to be an Animorph. He didn't want the ability to change into any animal he touches. And he certainly didn't want to be one of a handful of kids that are the planet's only defense against a secret alien army. His friends know why he feels the way he does. He's worried about his dad -- the only family Marco has left. If anything happens to him, his father will be alone. But something big is about to change for Marco. Something that could finally give him a reason to fight.

The Yeerks are finally starting to realize that the "Andalite bandits" are probably not aliens at all. That maybe they've been dealing with humans all along. And no one -- especially the newly appointed Visser One -- is happy about this revelation.When Tobias and the other Animorphs realize that the Yeerks are about to find them, it's by accident. But that doesn't make the discovery any less serious. Because in a war, one side wins and one side loses...
