About this book
When the Animorphs learn the Yeerks plan to build a new ground-based Kandrona near the North Pole, Marco and the team head into brutal Arctic conditions to stop them. With limited time, risky new morphs, and freezing temperatures, every decision counts. Marco’s humor and quick thinking balance the danger as the group pushes their limits to protect Earth. Fast-paced action and high-stakes missions make this an exciting read for sci-fi fans who like teamwork and tension without heavy gore.
Setting: the Arctic (near the North Pole) and present-day Earth
