In this book you will find a new twist on the Z Space Theory. Hint: Just keep in mind how small mosquitoes really are. If you're into aliens you'll love this book. Psychics can be a problem when you're trying to keep a secret. If you're an Animorphs fan you definately need this book.

I like when two different breeds of aliens have war. Animorphs #18 provides an excellent source of science fiction literature. If you enjoy down-right wonderfully written sci-fi this is the book for you!

It was great! The Animorphs go to the hospital where the mayor is and try to morph him by morphing into mosquitos and getting his blood (YUCK) but right in the middle of that they are in mosquito morph and then they end up in Z-space when a ship comes flying to close to there regular bodies (Ax andelite, jake human etc.) then the ship comes to help them before they loose their air then they are taken to a planet right in the middle of a war. When they are at the planet one by one they dissaper intil Ax is left. It is up to him to save the planet.... and himself. Can he save the planet and himself without the animorphs help before it is to late?

While I thought this was something of a filler novel, it was still fun for those who appreciate a space twist.

In this book, the Animorphs and Ax morph misquitoes to get blood from a govermental official the Yeerks will try to infest so they can aquire him. They end up in Z-space and an Andalite ship picks them up. The ship is headed for Leera (remember book 15) and the pilot turns out to be a tratior! One of the officers kills the captain and self-distructs the ship, because it landed behind enemy lines. The Animorphs start disapering. Two have disapered by the time they reach the sea. The remaning Animorphs morph sharks and go into the ocean. Finally Ax and one remaning Animorphs are on a mission to destroy some Yeerk thing. Only Ax is left and he does it. What will happen next? Read the book to find out!

For a good synapsis of the actual story, I suggest you read the reviews before mine. They give an excellent overall idea of the story, so I don't want to repeat it in this review, as well.

As another outlook of someone way over the target audience, I've been reviewing the Animorphs for other adults who might be curious. This is another very well written and interesting story which introduces us to the earlier mentioned Leeran race which the Yeerks were attempting to make shark controllers for. Ax faces some very tough decisions in this particular story. Although the main theme is action packed alongside humor, we again have a story about a very lonely young boy who is growing up to fill the shoes (or hooves, as it were) of an older brother who was a legend, serve his people according to his beliefs, and yet where does that put him with the humans, who are almost a foster family? His loyalties are put to the ultimate test when he faces fellow Andalites, who are mortified to think humans have been given the morphing technology. The secret shame of the Andalites in unleashing the Yeerks on the galaxy because of a well-meaning Andalite has made the race very strict about offering anything to another race ever again. Ax was forced with the burden of accepting responsibility for giving the Animorphs their power to keep Elfangor's name cleared so his people can have a hero to look up to in a dark time of war in an earlier book. He has to face that again, this time to his own people, who he's wanted to see for a very long time. Ax also finds himself tail to tail with Visser Three once again, leaving the young cadet to wonder about fear, how to overcome it, and the real meaning of a coward. All of this is rolled into an exciting story about the Animorphs finding themselves swept up into a war between Yeerks and Leerans on a far distant planet due to a Z-Space fluke and a tiny morph. Ax's loyalties are questioned by himself, but also by the rest of the Animorphs. Is he one of them, or isn't he? What is he, really, Andalite or in his hearts, partially human? Ax is able to find his peace by the end of the story, and learns some very harsh realities about his own people, himself, and the world around him.

I like this book so far. It is about some kids who morph to help save the world. I'm at the part when Ax is fighting the enemy, Visser Three. He is trying to destroy the world. This book is cool and funny. Boys who are 8 years or older would like it. Read it!!!

AX finds himself making a tough decision. To leave the Animorphs OR join his people. They are in misquito morph when transported to ZERO-SPACE! Luckily, a Andalite Scout Ship finds them. Good Luck Andalites! THE BEST K.A. Applegate book ever! Read it, beloved Animorph fans!

¥Read this book, It is th funniest and most ACTION Packed Animorphs book because its simply the best! Its About Animorphs & Ax (also an animorph) Get Trapped In Z-space!¥

I thought this book was very interesting. It was cool how Ax narrated the story. I also thought that morphing physic Leerans was totally wierd. This book was wierd, but I liked it.
