Rachel and her friends were all given the amazing ability to morph into any animal. But they promised to use their powers to help save the earth from the Yeerks, and alien race that looks like a little bugs that gets into the minds of people and takes control of their brain. They had previously discovered that their assistant principle, Mr. Chapman, was a Human-Contoller, meaning a human with a Yeerk in their head. The children are looking for a way to destroy the Yeerks, so they decide to spy on Mr. Chapman. Rachel volunteers to become the Chapman's cat and go into their home. She finds out many secrets about the Yeerks, but this she is caught! She is saved because one of her friends, Jake, was morphed into a flea riding in her fur. He morphs into a tiger and helps her fight her way out. For the time being, all the animorphs, as they call themselves, are safe.
