The Encounter: A Graphic Novel (Animorphs Graphix #3)

by K. A. Applegate, Michael Grant, Chris Grine (Illustrator)

Overview

The wildly popular, bestselling sci-fi series by Katherine Applegate and Michael Grant returns in a new full-color graphic novel series, adapted by Chris Grine.

When Tobias and his friends were given the power to morph, they were also given an important warning: Never stay in a morph for more than two hours. But Tobias broke the time limit, and now he's trapped in the body of a hawk — forever.

When he discovers an important Yeerk secret, Tobias knows he has to do everything in his power to destroy it. But to do so, he'll have to contend with a part of himself that's wrestling for dominion. A part that isn't human.

For Tobias, the fight against the Yeerks is more pressing than ever — not just for humankind, but for his own humanity.
