Animorphs #1: The Invasion - by K a Applegate (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

The wildly popular, bestselling Animorphs series by Katherine Applegate and Michael Grant is back with an all-new look! Perfect for Ani-fans of all ages.

We can't tell you who we are. Or where we live. It's too risky. And we've got to be careful. But everyone is in danger. Yeah. Even you.

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 they 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...

Join the Animorphs as they defend Earth from the Yeerk invaders in the original series with a brand-new look!
