In this book, the helmacrons (previously in Animorphs #24, The Suspicion) have returned to get the morphing device and they're more desperate than ever. When Rachel morphs into an elephant, Marco- as usual - gets in the way, and ends up with a head full of helmacrons! Yup, you heard me right, the helmacrons are in his head and they are armed and dangerous! The other animorphs have no other choice than to shrink to inch high sizes, and follow the helmacrons up Marco's nose! Another entertaining Animorph book, if I may say so myself with the usual risks and humour.

The little egomaniacs are back to irritate and amuse the Animorphs. They dive into Cassie's barn in their little Barbie size space ship to take over the universe.

In the midst of trying to capture the little fiends, they dive into Marco's nose to take him hostage. So the friends have to take them on in their friend. Very unique.

I liked the unique staging of this Animorphs book. I also liked the references to other literary icons, such as Magic School Bus. Very neat.

I also think this is the first Animorphs book (not a Mega book) which uses other characters' voices in different chapters. We got a bit of Marco's viewpoint along the way. Rachel even admitted she might possibly like & miss Marco if something were to happen.

Definitely a keeper Animorph book

The helmacrons are back! These less than an inch high aliens need more power so the little ego-maniacs turn to the animorphs and demand the morphing cube! Rachel attacks them Marco gets in the way and ends up with aliens well in his nose! Now the helmacrons are using Marco as a hostage. The rest is in the book!

The helmacrons totally ruin the Animorphs'lives in this one. You get a little bit of chapters with Marco's point of view. You see, The helmacrons travel up Marco's nose, so, uh, JUST READ IT! It's hilarious, 3 thumbs up.

The helmacors ruinen the animophs life.They shrank Mrcos friends and he put them in his nose.They were fighting in his body.The witer use good details.She makes you want to keep reading.I like this book and it wasfunny and fun to read.you need to read this book IT WAS SO COOL!

Animorphs the Journey

Animorphs the Journey is a part of a series of books called Animorphs. These books have characters called animorphs who can turn from a person into an animal. In this book Animorphs the Journey, the main character Rachel. She is one of the animorphs. She goes to middle school. She is determined never to give up on her journey to prevent the Helmacrons from taking over her friend Marco.
Rachel, Marco, and the rest of their friends, who are all animorphs too, try to keep the Helmacrons from getting the morphing cube. Helmacrons are inch-high aliens who want the cube so they can have the power to morph, or turn into any kind of animal they would like to be. The story gets interesting when the inch-high aliens wind up in Marcos nose. Rachel and her friends try to get the aliens out of Marco. Draycon beams blast everywhere to attack the Helmacrons ( Draycon beams are like bullets out of a gun). This is very dangerous for Marco who could get hurt.
All the events and descriptions in this story help the author achieve the purpose of entertaining the reader and helping them use their imaginations. I liked Animorphs the Journey because it was exciting and adventurous. I never knew what was going to happen next. I would recommend this book because it is so entertaining. It would probably fit kids in third grade, fourth grade, and fifth grade, or really good readers in lower grades.

It is probably the best one yet.Man it's so freaky.It changes characters from Rachael, and Marco.They don't make them much better than this.

Hmm. The Helmacron were a filler idea in the first place, and I was disappointed to see that the Ghostwriter hired by KAA couldn't come up with anything more original. Also, the trip to Snot Mountain in MarcoLand smacked of The Magic School Bus. Happily, most of the biology seemed to be factual, props to GW for that. I would've liked to have seen more plot advancement, for both the Yeerks and the war, and the blossoming relationships between our angst-filled heroes. My two stars are for the fact that it was quite funny, especially Rachel's disgust at swimming in Marco's bodily fluids, but I had to take away points for the Rabies subplot. Worth a read if it's a rainy Saturday, but that's about it.

K.A. Applegate does another great one. This is a great book and I recomend it. I recomend all of the series. It's a great series and I have just about every one of them.

This wasn't a bad book, per se. The beginning was interesting, but towards the middle it got boring, and by the end, I just wanted it to end already. The Test is much better.
