Perhaps the master work of the series ( ) This one kind of has the same premise as the previous book- one of the Animorphs has to face a terrible dilemma: protect his family or keep the Animorphs from being exposed. It's Jake. His great-grandfather has died so they're all leaving town for funeral arrangements- which will take four or more days. His brother Tom's Yeerk is panicked at being away from its source of nutrients too long- it will die. Their father refuses to let Tom stay behind, so after several different attempts to thwart events, the Yeerk in Tom is plotting to do away with his father. Jake has to stop him without letting Tom realize that he's an Animorph. A lot of this one is focused on Jake's family interactions, his fear for Tom and hatred of the Yeerk controlling him, his inability to be ruthless like Marco was about the similar situation with his mother/Visser One. There's also conflict within the Animorphs team, who makes the decisions, can they override their leader. Jake's futile plan to simply keep twenty-four-seven surveillence on his father until the weekend is over fails; luckily his friends step in and save the day with their own crazy plan. It's a bit of a stretch to think that Marco as a gorilla bashing cars around in a parking lot would have no reactions from the public and that Rachel as a grizzly, Jake as rhino and Marco as gorilla again wouldn't get noticed by any neighbors when they smash through Chapman's house to take him hostage as a distraction to the enemy! Ridiculous and reckless. In spite of that, I was able to enjoy the story this time. I didn't notice any new morphs, they all used familiar ones- including birds of prey, cockroach and tiger- and that's part of the series I always really liked- seeing how they felt inside new animal skins and dealing with the instincts and sharp senses- but now it's getting more intense with the stakes even higher in the alien conflict so I still like reading them. from the Dogear Diary Right on the heels of Marco's crisis with his mother, a death in Jake's family means an extended family visit away from home - this wouldn't be a problem, except for the fact that Jake's older brother Tom has a parasite that needs Kandrona rays every three days or he'll die a slow and painful death. Tom can't come right out and say that of course, being a secret invader and all, so it leads to tension between Tom and Jake's father. Jake fears the Yeerk inside Tom's head will kill if necessary to get out of the trip. Jake has to face some personal demons and contemplate the impossible, but when it comes down to it, what is one life in the face of the Animorph's struggle for the future of all of humanity? All of this guerrilla warfare may not be so hot for these middle schoolers. Animorphs Next: 'The Separation' Previous: 'The Reunion' A short comment for every book of the series until I get a chance to re-read them. All three of my sons and I loved this series and read every single book - I even bought every single book (most, but not all, used; some through school book sales). I'm excited to re-read them to see how the five main characters develop and to watch all the different transformations again. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
