Being an Aniorph is INSANE!
Marco looks out for himself and his dad. Ever since his mother died, he has been doing a lot of the housework and keeping his life normal in his cynical way. Then he and his four friends, Jake, Rachel, Cassie, and Tobias, were given the power to turn into any animal they want. They have to protect Earth from the Yeerks, a slug-like alien species which wants to take over the the human race. Marco is not too happy about this. All he ever wanted was a calm life. But his world is gong to change even more when he meets Visser One, leader of the Yeerks and who he's infesting.

Hi, mommy visser
Marco never wanted to be an animorph. Kids who turned into animals to save the world from evil space slugs called yeerks. It was just INSANE! But then Ax, the andalite (a species that have been fighting the yeerks for a long time. They were born with he abilit to morph. One of them gave the animorphs their powers) decides he wants to go home. And to do that he needs a yeerk spaceship. after going through hilarious antics at the mall and having a terrfying experience as ants, they call a fighter ship. The plan is to knock out the drivers in their most powerful morphs. But the yeerk blade ship also comes which contains Visser Three the only yeerk to infest an andalite. The animorphs are caught and brought aboard the yeerk mothership. There they meet Visser One, one of the yeerks' most poerful leaders. But Marco feels like he's known Visser One all his life.

Tense
This was a surprisingly emotional book that helped solidify my love for this series back in the day. Applegate was smart enough to take the classically funny guy with hidden pain and turn into a storyline that affects the main plot of the entire series. Great action sequences as well.
