    KOKO the Caterpillar lived peacefully on her beloved lettuce leaf until a fierce storm washed her far from home. Lost and frightened, she embarked on an epic journey to find her way back, meeting many garden creatures along the way. 
    Her first encounter was with Burt the Beetle, who unhelpfully suggested she live underground. Next, she met Sylvia the Spider, who offered risky web-swinging advice, and Andy the Ant, who was too busy to provide proper directions. Throughout her journey, KOKO had to hide from Percy the Gardener, who disliked caterpillars, though she couldn't understand why. 
    KOKO's adventures continued as she met Bella the Butterfly, who inspired her with stories of transformation and taught her that change could be beautiful. At a pond, she encountered Freddy the Frog, who suggested swimming but nearly led her into danger. Wally the Worm tried to help from his muddy underground home, though his advice wasn't very useful either. 
    A terrifying bird chase forced KOKO to hide and reminded her of the constant dangers she faced. However, her luck changed when she met Rosie the Ladybug, whose cheerful optimism lifted her spirits, and Oliver the Grasshopper, who helped her realize how much she had grown and learned during her journey. 
    With her new friends' help, KOKO finally found her way back to the lettuce patch. But upon returning home, she began feeling strange urges to spin and sleep. Her friends explained that she was ready for transformation. KOKO spun herself into a cocoon, and after weeks of metamorphosis, emerged as a beautiful butterfly with orange, black, and white wings. 
    As a butterfly, KOKO gained a new perspective on the garden and even Percy the Gardener, realizing he loved the garden too and simply hadn't understood that caterpillars become helpful butterflies. The garden became a harmonious community where all creatures learned to appreciate each other's roles.

Even you.________________________________________________________________The Animorphs' latest adventure takes them where no man has ever gone before... into Marco's left nostril.
