Follow along as they cheer and jeer the adventures of Jake, Cassie, Marco, Rachel, Tobias, and Ax. Book Description: "Rachel's got some pretty strange stuff happening. She can't control her morphing.

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 and Ax are in for some serious trouble..." Like what you heard in this episode? Why wait for the rest?
