About this book
When a crashed alien Bug fighter is discovered, Jake and the Animorphs seize a risky chance to expose the Yeerks—only to be hurled to a jungle far from home and far from help. Stranded in an unforgiving rainforest with enemies closing in, the team must rely on their morphs, their wits, and Jake’s leadership to survive. Fast-paced action, alien tech, and high-stakes teamwork make this a favorite for sci-fi and adventure fans. Great for middle-grade readers who like intense suspense with just-right humor and heart.
