Animorphs the Journey is a part of a series of books called Animorphs. These books have characters called animorphs who can turn from a person into an animal. In this book Animorphs the Journey, the main character Rachel. She is one of the animorphs. She goes to middle school. She is determined never to give up on her journey to prevent the Helmacrons from taking over her friend Marco.
Rachel, Marco, and the rest of their friends, who are all animorphs too, try to keep the Helmacrons from getting the morphing cube. Helmacrons are inch-high aliens who want the cube so they can have the power to morph, or turn into any kind of animal they would like to be. The story gets interesting when the inch-high aliens wind up in Marcos nose. Rachel and her friends try to get the aliens out of Marco. Draycon beams blast everywhere to attack the Helmacrons ( Draycon beams are like bullets out of a gun). This is very dangerous for Marco who could get hurt.
All the events and descriptions in this story help the author achieve the purpose of entertaining the reader and helping them use their imaginations. I liked Animorphs the Journey because it was exciting and adventurous. I never knew what was going to happen next. I would recommend this book because it is so entertaining. It would probably fit kids in third grade, fourth grade, and fifth grade, or really good readers in lower grades.
