Our view
“The Message” is a lively Animorphs adventure that gives Cassie her first book and carries the war into the sea. Cassie and Tobias share dreams of the ocean and of a call for help that could be a message or a trap. Some readers value it for introducing Ax, a young Andalite cadet, and for showing Cassie as the heart of the team. Often funny, it is best read after the first three books.

And a strange feeling that someone is calling to them. Calling for help. Cassie, Tobias, Jake, Rachel, and Marco have to figure out if the dreams are a message -- or a trap. And if it is a trap, it could mean the end -- for everyone...
