"Applegate, Katherine A - Animorphs - 27 - The Exposed" - читать интересную книгу автора (Applegate Katherine A)

I'm tall. I'm blond. And I'm standing on a balance beam, trying to get
up the nerve to do a forward roll.

Trying to be normal.

Although when you think about it, what's normal about a human
somersaulting along on a slippery, narrow, wooden tightrope?

Nothing, that's what. Forget the forward roll.

Hey, reckless in battle keeps me alive. Reckless in the gym just breaks
bones.

And to keep fighting, I need to stay in one piece. Survival always comes
first. So you know I won't tell you my last name or where I live. That
information would get me and my friends killed.

3 Not that we'd go down without a fight, of course, but still . . .

We're five kids and an Andalite who, as I see it, have to hold on to the
three major things we've got going for us.

The ability to morph by acquiring animal DNA.

Anonymity. Nobody knows who we are.

The home team advantage.

So far, it's been enough to keep us alive and to seriously aggravate the
Yeerks, a parasitic species here to enslave Earth.

If the Yeerks had a "Most Wanted" list, we would top it. They want us
bad. Maybe they'd kill us. Maybe they'd do what they've done to so many
humans: crawl into our heads and take over our brains. Make us Controllers.

A Controller is someone enslaved by a Yeerk, and they're everywhere.
They're people you know. People you trust.

Our vice principal, Mr. Chapman.

My cousin, Tom.

Teachers, TV anchorwomen, cops, FedEx drivers, waiters, students,
construction workers. All walking around like they're perfectly normal.
Persuading their friends and families to join The Sharing, the Yeerks'
cover organization.

And once you're in, there's usually only one way out.
