Animorphs: The Predator
by K.A. Applegate
They can't tell you who they are or where they live: it's too risky for them. They can't trust anyone anymore. A boy named Marco never wanted the power to morph, he just wants to be normal and be himself, but he has no choice anymore. He has to help his friends Jake, Rachel, Cassie, an Tobias destroy the Yeerks. Marco is too worried about his dad, the only family that Marco has left. Marco knows that if something happens to him his dad will be alone, but something seems to change Marco's mind. The Yeerks have a bit of a surprise waiting for Marco, and of course it's not nice. Now Marco wants to fight.
I liked reading this book because you never know what's going to happen next. It's full of adventure. Every time you flip the page you can't help but keep reading to find out what is going to happen next.
