Animorphs Book 34: The Prophecy by K. A. Applegate

The Animorphs have an opportunity to help equip a Hork-Bajir insurgence. Cassie tests her control over morphing. Many of these books deal with loss, but this one has a lot of sudden shock & a very unique circumstance for mourning.

A girl (Cassie) turns into a green/brown alien (Hork-Bajir)
