Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Marco, the other Animorphs, and Ax have managed to find out where the Yeerks are planning to build their next ground-based Kandrona. That's a good thing. The location is supposed to be somewhere around the North Pole. That's a bad thing. The Animorphs and Ax know that the Yeerks are a "cold-blooded" species, but this is a little nuts! Who wants to be anywhere near the North Pole without Arctic morphs--and wearing spandex?

Even so, the kids know if the Yeerks succeed with their plan, Earth is pretty much done for. And Marco, the other Animorphs, and Ax aren't quite ready to give up the fight....

5.0 out of 5 stars I thought this book was totaly cool!!!!, March 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Extreme (Animorphs, No. 25) (Paperback)

This book had Marco Going polar, as in bear! I thought this book had a great plot. The animorphs board the blade-ship and get dumped off in the artic with their warmer weather morphs and spandex, to make matters worse, they're being chased by venber, a supposed-to-be extinct race of creatures found on a frozen moon, and let me tell ya, the venber "own the cold, icy climate. Will the animorphs suvuve the freezing, and if so, how long can they hold out against their armed and Extremely dangerous persuers in the Extreme?

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS BOOK ROCKS!!!, June 25, 2003

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Extreme (Animorphs, No. 25) (Paperback)

In this book, the Yeerks are building a Kandrona in the Arctic that would make every body of water in the world(even swimming pools!) into Yeerk pools. The Animorphs can't let that happen, so they morphs flies and hide under Visser Three's stomach :o). They head north on the Blade ship. Once in the Artic, they morph wolves and are freezing, so they morphs seals and polar bears. They head for the Kandrona site. What will happen next? Read the book to find out!
