Animorphs Essay One of my favorite books is Animorphs#7 The Stranger. Its about five kids who have the power to morph. In otherwords they can change into any animal they touch. By touch I mean they absorb a strand of the animals DNA. Then,from the DNA, they are able to create an exact copy of the animal and take on the copy. They can change into any animalthey touch. There is a series of these books. In this book they find an entrance to a Yeerk pool, a necessity of their alienenemies, the Yeerks. Once inside they creep around, as roaches, to see if they can pick up any information about thelocation of the Yeerks Kandrona, a portable version of the Yeerks home sun, which is also a necessity, so they candestroy it. However they dont count on being a Taxxon delicacy. The Taxxons are allies of the Yeerks.
