About this audiobook

Rachel is still reeling from the news that the Earth is secretly under attack by parasitic aliens known as the Yeerks. And that she and her friends -- five kids who, purely by chance, stumbled onto a downed spacecraft and were given the power to morph into any animal they touch -- are the planet's only defense. But Rachel's always been something of a daredevil. So when it's suggested that they infiltrate the home of their assistant principal, Mr. Chapman, who also happens to be a human host of the Yeerks, she volunteers. But what she finds inside may be more than even she can handle.

Ratings and reviews

One of my favorite Rachel books. On top of showing us the Animorphs struggle, it gives the reader insite into how the invasion would affect the lives of regular humans like Melissa and the lengths a parent would go to to save their child.

The stakes grow as the series continues. Another great entry.
