Alternamorphs - First Journey Overview

Narrator: You!

Cover: Holographic Lion

Release Date: March 1999

Cover Quote: You have been chosen. You are the sixth Animorph. Are you ready...

Plot Summary: You're with us when we head through the abandoned construction site.

You help us decide whether we really want to accept the power to morph.

You're there when Visser Three destroys Elfangor.

But not all of your decisions are the right ones. You'll probably make mistakes. Just be careful not to expose yourself -- or the rest of us -- to the Yeerks. Because our secret can never be discovered. And now, you are one of us. Can we trust you?

Are you ready to be an Animorph?

Okay, listen up. It's Jake. You probably already know what's going on around here. But just in case you don't, here's the deal: Rachel, Tobias, Cassie, Marco, and me are five kids and one alien out to save the world.

No, this isn't a joke. It's real. About as real as you can get. Real enough for screaming nightmares about the things you've seen and done.

Because sometimes the stuff you see in the movies, the stuff you thought could never, ever happen to you... well, it can happen. It does happen. I've seen it.

I can't tell you my last name. Or where I live. There's an alien invasion going on. Right here on Earth. But I'm not talking little green men with ray guns. I'm talking a much smarter way to conquer a world. Just invade people's brains.

I'm not nuts. I've seen it. And because of that, my friends and I were given a special power - the power to morph into any animal we touch. To acquire it's DNA. It's the only way we can fight the Yeerks - that's what they call themselves. We have to find a way to stop these slugs that get into people's heads and make them slaves.

But things have gotten worse. We need backup. A new Animorph. We've tried this once before and it didn't work out. At all. We're going to try again. So, if you're interested in joining us, let's go. Just remember not to read these missions like a normal book. Check out the instructions and follow them.

You get to choose your morphs, but I'm warning you now - choose them very carefully.

You have to deal with the consequences. They can either help you, or get you totally annihilated.

This isn't a game. It's serious stuff. So if you can handle it, turn to page one.
