5.0

I'd give this one 6 stars if I could. 
I've been wanting some exploration of yeerk individuality and psychology; I've also been wanting an exploration of Cassies character more, and this book exceeded my expectations on both.
so, Applegate does it again. I'll be thinking about Karen's monologue for a long, long time.
