The wildly popular, bestselling sci-fi series by Katherine Applegate and Michael Grant returns in a new full-color graphic novel series, adapted by Chris Grine. Sometimes weird things happen to people. Ask Jake. He could tell you about the night he and his friends saw a strange light in the sky that seemed to be heading right for them. That was the night five normal kids learned that humanity is under a silent attack -- and were given the power to fight back. Now Jake, Rachel, Cassie, Tobias, and Marco can transform into some of the most dangerous creatures on Earth. And they must use that power to outsmart an evil greater than anything the world has ever seen. . . .

When Tobias and his friends were given the power to morph, they were also given an important warning: Never stay in a morph for more than two hours. But Tobias broke the time limit, and now he's trapped in the body of a hawk -- forever. When he discovers an important Yeerk secret, Tobias knows he has to do everything in his power to destroy it. But to do so, he'll have to contend with a part of himself that's wrestling for control. A part that isn't human.

Jake and his freinds encounter a strange light in the sky, find out that the human race is threatened by an evil alien species, and are given the power to fight back by changing shape.

Exploring themes of work, marriage, and artistic admiration, this collection of poems delves into both personal experiences and broader reflections. Applegate draws on his life, from ship refurbishing to vineyard planting, while celebrating influences from literary and visual artists. The poems are characterized by their vivid imagery and engaging narratives, taking readers on an emotional and geographical journey that ultimately leads back to the poet's Oregon home, illustrating a rich tapestry of life experiences.

Chance is a hitman with hippie roots and deep emotional wounds, disillusioned by life and stung by love--and his next target is the woman who rejected him. But taking on such a job is not without complications. As he closes in on his victim, Chance struggles to rediscover the competitive edge that normally makes him so deadly. Faye Lindstrom escaped a life of captivity and addiction in Quintana Roo, but she can't flee the woman she has become. For now, she holes up in a house in Crooked River owned by an old friend, the reclusive novelist William Dieter. But that safe haven will only last until the end of the summer, assuming that the violence in her past doesn't catch up to her first. For lovers of Southern noir, Flamingo Lane is a gritty cat-and-mouse pursuit that launches from an island off the Yucatan Peninsula through the cornfields of Indiana to a small town on the Florida panhandle. A standalone sequel, Flamingo Lane ventures even further into the haunted territories of revenge and redemption first chronicled in Fever Tree.

Am besten erzählt euch Tobias die Geschichte. Er hat den besten Überblick … Er und die anderen der Clique können morphen. Das bedeutet: Sie können sich in ein Tier verwandeln. Und damit erlangen sie alle die Fähigkeiten dieses Tieres – gewaltige Stärke, feinsten Geruchssinn, immense Schnelligkeit … Aber nach spätestens zwei Stunden müssen sie sich zurückmorphen – sonst bleiben sie für immer in ihrer Tiergestalt. Dann gäbe es keine Hoffnung mehr im Kampf gegen die Yirks. Die Erde wäre verloren. Wie gesagt, Tobias weiß das am besten. Katherine Applegate gehört in den USA zu den beliebtesten und erfolgreichste Autorinnen im Bereich Science-Fiction und Fantasy.
