  A single Arn, Quafijinivon, the last member of the race that created the Hork-Bajir has survived.  He has seen his entire people wiped out.  He has seen the Hork-Bajir enslaved.  Now, after a lifetime of planning and plotting, he wants to get his revenge on the Yeerks.  And he wants to atone for the problems the Arn have caused.  He is old and weak.  But he has something the Yeerks have reason to fear: the Ixcila, the mind pattern and persona of Aldrea-Iskillion-Falan.  Prince Seerow's daughter and one of the main characters of The Hork-Bajir Chronicles.  Dak Hamee's Ixcila did not survive.  Aldrea's Ixcila is a powerful thing for the Arn to have.  Because he's also learned that while Aldrea and Dak were alive they'd managed to steal and hide an entire transport of Yeerk weaponry.  And now Quafijinivon wants the free Hork-Bajir on Earth to have the weapons to fight against the Yeerks.  But he has to find the weapons first.  And only Aldrea would know where they are hidden.  The free Hork-Bajir notify the Animorphs of this Arn's arrival on Earth.  When they meet, Quafijinivon feels that Cassie is the best candidate for Aldrea's Ixcila.  Now, Cassie has within her own mind the mind of Aldrea.  She, the other kids, the Arn, and Toby (the young Seer of the free Hork-Bajir colony), must travel to the Hork-Bajir home world, locate the weapons cache, and help launch a new Hork-Bajir liberation movement.  One problem:  The Aldrea persona must voluntarily surrender its hold on the host mind or decide to push the host aside.  Did Aldrea's Ixcila choose Cassie because it sensed she was weak?  Or was Aldrea drawn to the truly strong memeber of the Animorphs?

  Short Snorter by Charles Einstein - His saucer was parked in the woods, and Mr. Steariot (from Venus) was parked in the lobby.... 
  Three paths led through the woods away from the resort hotel, and of the three two were clearly marked: one with a sign that said it led to the lake, the other pointing toward the golf links. The third pathway was unmarked, and this was the one that inevitably the lovers and the honeymooners took—the path that Alice and Fred Daniels followed today. 
  The sun was unusually warm for this time of year, but only a few yards along the pathway Fred and Alice were swallowed up by the great and near-great trees of the forest. The sunlight was, except for an occasional patch of light here and there, warded away by the foliage above. The forest was very quiet. The pathway bridged a silent brook, and then, perhaps a third of a mile into the woods, turned abruptly to the left and the woods became even more dense, the pathway narrow. 
  Through the trees to the right at this point was a clearing, an unusual grassy circle perhaps sixty yards in diameter. It was not the clearing itself, however, but, instead, the glint of color in the sunlight that caused Fred and Alice to stop and look. 
  Alice said, "Fred, what is that?" 
  "Don't know," he said. "Something red. Let's look." 
  The two of them turned off the path and made their way through a dismal barrage of thicket to the clearing that lay beyond. When they got there, they saw the circular object—vehicle might be a better word. It was possibly fifteen yards in diameter. It seemed to be made of three rings, smaller ones bottom and top and the larger one ribbing the center, and to be constructed of some kind of plastic. Between the central and upper rings were set a series of small windows. The entire thing was painted a gaudy red. 
  "What do you think it is?" Fred said.

  Everyone knows the story of the Headless Horseman but perhaps you, like me, did not remember what a marvelous story teller Washington Irving was. He observed human nature closely and like any good humorist, lets us laugh at our own silly and superstitious sides through the joy of having strangers be the ones to display them. If you, like me, have only vague and muddy memories of this story, you owe it to yourself to listen and laugh along with the rest of the world.

  Twelve-year-old Bone possesses a Gift that allows her to see the stories in everyday objects in this supernatural historical mystery. 
   
   
   
  In southern Virginia coal-mining town in 1942, Bone Phillips has just reached the age when most members of her family discover their Gift. Bone has a Gift that disturbs her; she can sense stories when she touches an object that was important to someone. She sees both sad and happy—the death of a deer in an arrowhead, the pain of a beating in a baseball cap, and the sense of joy in a fiddle. There are also stories woven into her dead mama's butter—yellow sweater—stories Bone yearns for and fears. When Bone receives a note that says her mama's Gift is what killed her, Bone tries to uncover the truth. Could Bone's Gift do the same? Here is a beautifully resonant coming-of-age tale about learning to trust the power of your own story.
