Fun fluff with moments of seriousness.

Five teenagers gain the ability to morph into different animals to save the world from the Yeerks.

Fast read that I really enjoyed! I liked Cassie's POV and I love her and Jake's friendship. I do wish there wasn't so much repetition from previous books though.

The one where they have to find the Andalite at the bottom of the ocean. 
That's it, really. Cassie has a bit of emotional turmoil over the ethics of stealing animal dna to morph with, but it doesn't really go anywhere. They resolve it very quickly.

My favourite so far! I thought Rachel's book would be my fav out of the first 5 cus she's my favourite but this one plot wise was sooo good! I loved the exploration of the ethics around morphing, and I love that we got introduced to Ax!
