About this book

When a risky morph goes wrong, Rachel splits into two very different versions of herself—one timid and one dangerously reckless. As the Animorphs face the ever-pressing Yeerk threat, Rachel must find a way to reconcile both halves before they tear the team—and their mission—apart. Fast-paced action blends with humor and character-driven drama as Rachel’s identity crisis tests her courage and judgment. Great for middle-grade readers who enjoy sci-fi adventures with heart and big questions about who we are.

Setting: contemporary suburban Earth during an undercover alien invasion
