He rarely misses his life in the jungle. Mostly, he thinks about art. Then he meets Ruby, a baby elephant taken from her family, and she makes Ivan see their home--and his own art--through new eyes. When Ruby arrives, change comes with her, and it's up to Ivan to make it a change for the better. Continuing the story of these friends in The One and Only Bob, Bob sets out on a dangerous journey in search of his long-lost sister with the help of Ivan and Ruby. As a hurricane approaches and time is running out, Bob finds courage he never knew he had and learns the true meaning of friendship and family.

The winner of the Newbery Medal and a #1 New York Times bestseller, the book was deemed "extraordinary" by Bulletin for the Center of Children's Books and "a must-have" by School Library Journal in starred reviews. And its sequel, The One and Only Bob, debuted at #1 on multiple bestseller lists, including the New York Times list, and was called "pitch-perfect" by Kirkus Reviews and "delightfully heartfelt and adventurous" by School Library Journal in starred reviews.

The Earth is being invaded, but no one knows about it. When Jake, Rachel, Tobias, Cassie, and Marco stumble upon a downed alien spaceship and its dying pilot, they're given an incredible power-they can transform into any animal they touch. With it, they become Animorphs, the unlikely champions in a secret war for the planet. And the enemies they're fighting could be anyone, even the people closest to them. So begins K. A. Applegate's epic series about five normal kids with a limitless amount of forms and abilities.

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, purely by chance, 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's always been something of a daredevil. So when it's suggested that they infiltrate the home of their assistant principal, Mr. Chapman, 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.

La Terre est envahie, mais personne n'est au courant. Lorsque Jake, Rachel, Tobias, Cassie et Marco rencontrent par hasard un vaisseau spatial extraterrestre et son pilote mourant, ils reçoivent un incroyable pouvoir. Ils peuvent prendre la forme de n'importe quel animal qu'ils touchent. Ils deviennent alors les Animorphs, les champions improbables d'une guerre secrète pour la planète.

Rachel est encore sous le choc après avoir appris que la Terre est secrètement attaquée par des parasites extraterrestres. Ses amis et elle sont la seule défense de la planète contre les Yirks.

Chapman, l'hôte humain d'un officier yirk de haut rang. Rachel se porte volontaire pour s'introduire dans la maison de Chapman. Mais ce qu'elle découvre à l'intérieur est peut-être au-delà de ses capacités.

Lorsqu'ils ont reçu le pouvoir de se métamorphoser, Tobias et ses amis ont aussi reçu un important avertissement: ne jamais demeurer plus de deux heures sous une forme d'animal. Mais Tobias a dépassé cette limite et est désormais prisonnier du corps d'un faucon... pour toujours. Lorsqu'il découvre un important secret des Yirks, Tobias sait qu'il doit faire tout ce qui est en son pouvoir pour contrecarrer leurs plans.

Tout a commencé par des rêves. Cassie fait d'étranges cauchemars dans lesquels une voix l'appelle des profondeurs de l'océan. C'est troublant, mais en découvrant que Tobias fait les mêmes rêves qu'elle, Cassie décide qu'il est temps d'écouter cette voix appelant à l'aide. Quand des débris s'échouent sur la rive, couverts d'écritures extraterrestres, les amis comprennent qu'ils ont peut-être encore des alliés dans cette lutte pour sauver la planète - des alliés qui tentent d'entrer en contact.
