About the Book

Attempting to get more information about the Yeerks, Jake is suddenly taken over by one of the parasitic aliens and becomes one of them, and the Animorphs launch a rescue mission.

Book Synopsis

The sixth adventure of the wildly popular, bestselling sci-fi series by Katherine Applegate and Michael Grant returns in this new full-color graphic novel series, adapted by Chris Grine.

It was bad enough when Jake found out his older brother was one of them. It was even worse when Tobias stayed in his morph too long. But nothing compares to the horror the Animorphs are about to face -- nothing.

The Animorphs have discovered the location of the Yeerks's new base. They've even figured out how to get in -- and they have a plan to hit those alien slugs where it hurts.

But they were never prepared for Jake to fall into a Yeerk pool. For Jake to become a human controller. The enemy.

It's a race against the clock as the Animorphs face their biggest challenge yet: Save Jake before the Yeerk can expose them all ...
