Book Summary

Sometimes weird things happen to people.  Ask Jake.  He may tell you about the night he and his friends saw the strange light in the sky.  He may even tell you about what happened when they realized the "light" was only a plane -- from another planet.  It's where they're told that the human race is under attack -- and given the chance to fight back.

 Now Jake, Rachel, Cassie, Tobias, and Marco have the power to morph into any animal they choose.  And they must use that power to outsmart an evil that is greater than anything the world has ever seen....

Morphs

Jake : Dog. Lizard. Tiger

Rachel: Elephant

Tobias: Cat. Red Tailed Hawk.

Cassie: Horse

Marco: Gorilla

Sample of Book 

    My name is Jake.  That's my first name, obviously.  I can't tell you my last name.  It would be to dangerous. The controllers are everywhere.  Everywhere. And if they knew my full name, they could find me and my friends, and then... well, let's just say I don't want them to find me.  What they do to people who resist them is too horrible to think about.

   I won't even tell you where I live.  You'll just have to trust me that it is a real place, a real town.  It may even be your town.

   I'm writing this all down so that more people will learn the truth.  Maybe then, somehow, the human race can survive until the Andalites return and rescue us, as they promised they would.
