When Marco runs into his old friend Erek, he doesn't think too much of it. He's got more important things to do, like helping to save the world. But then Marco finds out Erek's been hanging with some of the kids at the Sharing, and he starts to think that something just a little weird is going on. So Marco, Jake, and Ax decide to morph and check old Erek out. Just to see if he's been infested with a Yeerk. The good news is that Erek's not a human-Controller. The bad news is that Erek's not even human.

The last time Rachel and her friends entered the giant Yeerk pool beneath their town things went very bad. This time they plan to be careful, and sneak in as roaches, just to spy. Once they're inside, though, the team gets caught. But right as things are looking their most dire, everything stops. Everything. Then Rachel and the Animorphs hear a voice. It belongs to a very old, very powerful being, and it says it can save them. But if it does, the Earth will be defenseless.

Marco never wanted to be an Animorph. He didn't want the ability to change into any animal he touches. And he certainly didn't want to be one of a handful of kids that are the planet's only defense against a secret alien army. His friends know why he feels the way he does. He's worried about his dad - the only family Marco has left. If anything happens to him, his father will be alone. But something big is about to change for Marco. Something that could finally give him a reason to fight. 

Rachel's got some pretty strange stuff happening. She can't control her morphing. One minute, she's doing homework. The next, she's morphing a full-grown crocodile, and - without returning to human form - she becomes an elephant. That's when the floor gives way and Rachel finds herself looking up at what used to be the kitchen ceiling. What's going on? No one's sure, but Rachel and the other Animorphs have to figure it out - quickly. Because if someone sees Rachel's out-of-control morphing, the other Animorphs are in for some serious trouble.

Byx ist die Jüngste im Dalkin-Rudel, und wie alle Dalkins besitzt sie eine besondere Gabe: Sie kann Lüge von Wahrheit unterscheiden, immer. Doch in Nedarra werden die Dalkins gejagt. Den Menschen, die sich hier zur Herrschaft aufgeschwungen haben, sind die hundeähnlichen Wesen ein Dorn im Auge. Als Byx eines Tages von einem Streifzug zu ihrem Rudel zurückkehrt, geschieht das Furchtbare: Sie findet alle Dalkins tot vor, ermordet von den Schergen des Machthabers Murdano. Ist sie nun ganz allein, die Letzte ihrer Art, der Endling?

Die geheime Stimme des Wunschbaums. Rot, eine alte Eiche, ist ein sogenannter Wunschbaum - ein Baum, dem die Menschen ihre tiefsten Wünsche anvertrauen. Man könnte meinen, dass Rot schon alles gesehen hat. Doch als eine neue Familie in die Nachbarschaft zieht und die zehnjährige Samar sich nichts sehnlicher wünscht als einen Freund, ist Rots Weisheit von größerer Bedeutung denn je. Und plötzlich beschließt er, alle Regeln zu brechen und seine Stimme zu erheben.

Der zehnjährige Jackson ist nicht der Typ für einen unsichtbaren Freund, denn Jackson sammelt Fakten. Ein Fakt ist zum Beispiel, dass eine Kakerlake ohne Kopf zwei Wochen lang überleben kann. Ein weiterer, dass seine Eltern zurzeit mal wieder nicht mit dem Geld klar kommen. Erst verschwindet der Fernseher, dann gibt es zum Abendbrot nur noch Cornflakes. Aber plötzlich taucht ein sprechender Kater namens Crenshaw auf, der so groß ist, dass man sich bei ihm anlehnen kann.

In the beginning, there was an apple - And then there was a car crash, a horrible injury, and a hospital. But before Evening Spiker's head clears a strange boy named Solo is rushing her to her mother’s research facility. There, under the best care available, Eve is left alone to heal. Just when Eve thinks she will die - not from her injuries, but from boredom - her mother gives her a special project: Create the perfect boy. Using an amazingly detailed simulation, Eve starts building a boy from the ground up. Eve is creating Adam. And he will be just perfect... won’t he?

Das Hörbuch zum bewegenden Disney-Film über den Gorilla in Gefangenschaft. "Ich bin Ivan. Ich bin ein Gorilla. Das ist nicht so einfach, wie es aussieht." Der schon in die Jahre gekommene Gorilla Ivan lebt in einer heruntergekommenen Zirkus-Mall. An seine Zeit in den Bergen in Freiheit kann er sich fast nicht mehr erinnern, mit seinem tristen Dasein hat er sich abgefunden. Erst durch den Neuzugang, Elefantenbaby Ruby, und durch seine Freundschaft mit Julia, der Tochter seines Pflegers, kommt wieder Leben ins Haus.

Um herauszufinden, ob sie wirklich die Letzte ihrer Art ist - der "Endling" - , begibt sich Byx mit ihren neuen Freunden in die schneebedeckten Berge von Dreyland. Sie hofft, dort vielleicht eine Spur anderer Dalkins zu finden. Doch die Bedrohung eines herannahenden Krieges wirft ihre Schatten auf das Land, und für die Gefährten wird die Reise hoch oben im Norden immer gefährlicher.

There's a new rumor in town. Someone has discovered an item that proves life on other planets exists, and they've been hiding it on a base called Zone 91, the most secret place on Earth. Cassie and the other Animorphs already know about life on other planets. Too well. Their enemies the Yeerks will try to access Zone 91, to find out if what's there will threaten their mission to conquer to the planet. So the Animorphs decide to pay Zone 91 and the Yeerks a little visit. But what they discover is not at all what they expect.

Tobias has gotten used to his new life. He's a red-tailed hawk with the mind of a kid. It was difficult when he first became trapped in his morph, but he's started to come to terms with things. After all, how many kids actually get the chance to fly? But now Tobias is about to make a very difficult choice: a choice that the other Animorphs know nothing about. And it could mean the difference between living the rest of his life as a hawk...and being human.

There's been an accident. Someone crash landed a Yeerk Bug fighter, and the Yeerks have been trying to cover it up - quickly. When Tobias spots it before they get the chance, the Animorphs decide to steal the ship, to show the world that Earth has been invaded. That's when things go terribly wrong. Before they know it, Jake and the other Animorphs find themselves in another place. Another time. And there's no way home....

There's something pretty weird going on in the woods behind Cassie's house, the place where Ax and Tobias call home. It seems the Yeerks have figured out one very important fact: Andalites cannot survive without a feeding ground. Visser Three knows the "Andalite bandits" don't feed where he does, so there can only be one other place. Now the Animorphs have to figure out a way to stop a bogus logging operation. Because if Visser Three finds Ax in the woods, nothing will stop him from finding the Animorphs.
