The Visitor by K.A. Applegate
4.0

Jumping to the perspective of Rachel, we start to get a deeper look at the relationships destroyed by the loved ones of those enslaved by the Yeerks.

We also get a fresh new narration style that prioritizes empathy above battle or strategy. Although at times she feels like a disconnected caricature of what a girl is, Rachel is a refreshing change from Jake and regularly messes up in a way that was very interesting to see.

We also see a new level of paranoia from the group as we understand the constant threat this group is under. I’m very much looking forward to carrying on with the series
