Jake seems to have grown up overnight - literally. He goes to bed as his usual kid-self and wakes up ten years older to find the world completely taken over by Yeerks. All the other Animorphs are either dead or Yeerk-infested, and Jake alone is left to fight. Is it all just a horrific dream, or has the Yeerk invasion truly succeeded?

More About the Author
Katherine Applegate's many books include the Roscoe Riley Rules chapter book series, the picture book The Buffalo Storm, and the award-winning novel Home of the Brave. With her husband, Michael Grant, she wrote the hugely popular series Animorphs, which has sold more than 35 million copies worldwide.
Katherine was inspired to write The One and Only Ivan after reading about the true story of a captive gorilla known as Ivan, the Shopping Mall Gorilla. The real Ivan lived alone in a tiny cage for twenty-seven years at a shopping mall before being moved to Zoo Atlanta after a public outcry. He is now a beloved celebrity at the zoo, which houses the nation's largest collection of western lowland gorillas. Ivan is well known for his paintings, which he "signs" with a thumb-print.
Katherine lives in California with her husband and two children.

Quite interesting,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Familiar (Animorphs) #41 (Paperback)
This book was quite interesting. most of the parts were action filled and concerned a lot of drama. Loosing friends, especially close ones was tough for jake. A litte graphic so i wouldn't recommed for anyone under 10. Overall this was a fairly good book.

A good one...,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Familiar (Animorphs) #41 (Paperback)
In this book, Jake goes to sleep and awakes in a world where he is 10 years older, and the Yeerks have taken over pretty much everything. That is about it unless you want me to reveal some cool events that occur in this book. It's good.

The Familiar,
This review is from: The Familiar (Animorphs) #41 (Paperback)
The people that gave bad reviews on #41 are evil ! Well, okay, that's opinion. But anyway, I absolutely loved The Familiar. The way KA Applegate can create a futuristic Animorphs is amazing. I thought that The Familiar is one of the best books in the series, because it has so much glory in it. The auther fashioned this book to be not JUST #41. She fashined it to be a great , never to be forgotten book. True, the ending is a completely unexpected one -- but doesn't that make it all the more exciting? The Familiar is one of the best books in a long time since August. Now that's worth it.
