Animorphs Book 4: The Message by K. A. Applegate

Animorphs Book 4: The Message expands the stakes so that the #Animorphs understand that they are fighting for the whole planet. The team is completed when they rescue Aximili. Cassie learns both heavy responsibility and weightless joy.

Cassie has a really good understanding of her fellow Animorphs and her books are usually the most insightful about the group as whole, so it was nice to see small insights and points of future character growth be established in this book.
