Average rating3.8
Rachel is still reeling from the news that the Earth is secretly under attack by parasitic aliens known as the Yeerks. And that she and her friends -- five kids who stumbled onto a downed spacecraft and were given the power to morph into any animal they touch -- are the planet's only defense. But Rachel has always been a daredevil. When it's suggested that they infiltrate the home of their assistant principal, who also happens to be a human host of the Yeerks, she volunteers. But what she finds inside may be more than even she can handle.

Well I don't think I will be writing a review for ALL of these books because I think they'll pretty much have all the same pros and cons. This book was just as enjoyable as the last one. The only complaint I have is that the ending wasn't as epic as it was in the first book. I don't think I've ever read a series as long as this one that has a continuous plot (instead of being episodic) and the pacing seems like it might suffer a little but whatever. It's still all very fun to read.
Most disturbing thing from this volume: The taxxons eating each other alive while the one being eaten screams -shudder- Of course I don't doubt kids can handle this. I can picture a little boy reading this being like “heh heh sweeeet.” Me, it kinda creeps me out.
Pretty good for a sequel to keep you pushing through, but independently the formula hasn't been solidified here.
