    A novel “filled with very credible teen angst, morality, and an intriguing blend of science fiction and fantasy” from the author of A Wizard Abroad (School Library Journal).   Still recovering from an overly eventful vacation in Ireland, teenage wizard Nita Callahan is looking forward to some peace and quiet in her suburban New York home. Instead, her close friend Kit seems to be acting a little weird, and Nita keeps running into problems for which wizardry either isn’t the answer or else it’s the wrong one. How do you fix what can’t be fixed? Only the Transcendent Pig knows, and it’s not telling. But Nita needs to find out—and soon. Her wizardly partnership with Kit starts to fall apart. Much worse, her mother gets sick . . . so sick she may never leave the hospital.Only one person can help Nita—the One she’s devoted her life to fighting.   “Powerful and satisfying.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)   “A gripping and dynamic fantasy . . . Fans of the author will flock to this new adventure, which likely will bring new readers to the series.”—VOYA   Praise for the Young Wizards series   “Duane is tops in the high adventure business . . .

An outstanding, original work.”—The Horn Book

    In this middle grade “choose your own adventure” story, the reader decides what choices to make when an alien threatens to kill their character’s father. 
     
    It’s time for our next mission and it’s up to you to decide whether you want to join us. You probably already realize that each mission—each battle—could mean alien infestation, or worse. You probably already realize that we win about as many as we lose. But we are managing to hold the Yeerks back, and one more person could make all the difference. 
     
    Just so you know, there are going to be a lot of decisions to make. The right answers keep us alive. The wrong ones—well that’s pretty obvious. So what do you think? Are you ready to become a weapon against the alien invasion? Are you ready to morph—to change from an ordinary kid into an animal, a bird or insect, all in the name of saving the world? 
     
    Are you ready to be an Animorph?
