sound
quite as enthusiastic anymore.
"Attacking the Yeerk pool is out," I muttered.
But an idea was occurring to me. "Hey, Ax?
What
can you tell us about the Kandrona?"
He swiveled his head toward me, while his
stalk eyes turned slowly this way and that, searching the
woods for trouble. less-than The Kandrona is a
miniature version of the Yeerks" home sun. It

pools it had
to support. It might be as large as Cassie's
barn. It might be the size of one of your human
cars. greater-than
"The size of a car? Surely a bunch of
ail-American kids like us could manage to wreck a
car," Marco joked.
"How much would it hurt the Yeerks?" I
asked. "That's the question. Is it worth running
the risk of going down there again? Down to the
Yeerk pool?"
