    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.

    We can't tell you who we are.  Or where we live.  It's too risky, and we've got to be careful.  Really careful.  So we don't trust anyone.  Because if they find us...well, we just won't let them find us. The thing you should know is that everyone is in really big trouble.  Yeah.  Even you.________________________________________________________________Tobias's worst nightmare has come back to haunt him-Taylor.  Taylor is the evil Yeerk that captured and tortured Tobias, trying to get him to reveal the secrets of the Animorphs.  Now she's captured him again-but this time, she wants his help.Taylor says she's part of a Yeerk rebel movement to overthrow Visser Three.  They plan to dig a tunnel and blow up the Yeerk pool, killing a bunch of Controllers and Visser Three.  But they can't do it without the "Andalite Bandits."The Animorphs have their doubts.  No one knows if Taylor can be trusted.   Or if such a violent approach is warranted.  And really, how will they handle morphing the hunger-crazed Taxxons...?
