In "The Sickness" Cassie hears about Aftran, the yeerk that showed Cassie that not all yeerks are bad. Aftran has been taken by Visser Three for questioning. Cassie and the other animorphs have to try and rescure her. But Ax has fallen sick and since doctors are out of the question, Ax is dying! But they have continue with out him to save themselves and Aftran. One by one the animorphs get sick with the same thing that Ax has. soon Cassie is the only one left. So Cassie has to continue alone... This is one of the best in the series, it is well written and the plot is full of little twists and turns.

This is K.A. Applegates Best

I Believe that The Sickness is the best book that K.A. Applegate has ever written. It desribes more action then any other book. Cassie has to rescue Aftran by herself then do brain surgery on Ax. It is my favorite book that I have ever read and probably not ever see a book compareable with it!

The BEST Animorph book ever! And I love all of them!

This is an awesome book! It's about Cassie. She has to removeAx's Tria gland, because he has a disease called Yamphut. All theothers get the disease, but it does not effect them as much because they are human. Cassie also morphs a Yeerk so she can save Aftran. Visser Three found out about the Yeerk Peace Movement, and he planned to kill her. Luckily, Cassie saved her, and the Animorphs gave Aftran the power to morph. Aftran became a nothlit. She will remain forever a dolphin.

Wow, Wow, WOW!!!!
