Here are the summary of the novel that we discussed:
(CHAPTER 1 -7)
This novel tells about life of aliens and relationship between human and aliens. Human does not only think about their life, but they also pay attention about other life. People who live in the world,they pay attention each other.
Here, writer tells about short story of this novel. In this novel, there are humans that have relationship friends. There are jake, marco, tobias, cassie, and rachel. They always go anywhere together.
Jake is a person that has good person. He care of other people. When someone needs him, he will help someone. Marco is clever in video games. He often gets good point when he played the game. Marco and jake often spend their time to play game i the mall. When they was bored, they go home, they always came bsck to go home through construction site. There are pieces of bottles such as wine, beer, wisky, etc.
Tobias does not care of person’s problem. Jake met tobias in his school. Tobias is a new student in jake’s school. Jake helped tobias when two big guys chaos blond tobias’s hair in the bowl. Tobias and jake become friend.
Rachel is pretty person. she is always pay attention her fashion. She used wearing that always model like in magazine model. In the last, cassie. She wears short hair. She choices good word when she want to talk something with other people. people like her.
Jake, marco, tobias, and rachel, and cassie often go to the mall. They were through construction site. One day, they see something on the sky. First, marco see airplane, suddenly he stopped walking. Jake asked him, why he stopped. Marco sees kind of alien turn down to earth. Arrived in the earth, alien say hello to them. Name of alien is andalite. He comes to earth to help human from dangerous of other aliens. Not all of alien wants to help  human. Most of them want to disturb people. Andalite wants to help human. He was separate with his family for helping human from dangerous of other aliens. Alien/andalite was sick. Jake compassionates to jake. He wants to help andalite from other aliens. He does not know the way to help him. All of them want to be the power people. andalite said that if they want to become power people, they  must become morphing, to become a morph, they must become animal. They do not have time to think over it. they should decided it early. Tobias does not care of power people. he does not want to become an animal person.
A few minutes later, other aliens like visser three come to earth. Andalite asked them who wants to be an animal. Then, jake was ready to become an animal for helping human and Andalite. Finally, jake’s friend want to become animal too.
For becoming animal, they toch other creature. Visser three comes to the earth. He looking for andalite. While andalite looking at visser three, andalite told them to run away. Jake and other friends do not leave andalite alone, but andaliti was force them to leave him aloe. Visser three is really dangerous. They saw visser three  took andalite very high and then fall down andalite. Jake was close his eyes, when andalite fell down. Finally, andalite died.
 They run away, they try to save themselves from visser three. Visser three chased them. They was succed to save themselves. On the morning, tobias comes to jake’s home. He wants to say something about him self. It is really secret. He does not want other people know about his real life.
Jake heard tobias. Tobias is leaved by his parents since he was still child. He lived with his uncle and his uncle and his aunt. Now, he is not human, he becomes a cat. Jake did not believe about his story. Then, he change a cat in front of jake. He has fur, gray coland has mustache, etc. Tobias becomes a cat. How poor he is.

(CHAPTER 8-12)
Jake, Rachel, Cassie, Marco, and Tobias are all walking home one night after a day of loitering in front of the food court. They decide to cut through an abandoned construction site to get home faster, but then a UFO shows up. Inside is an alien who is basically a blue centaur with extra eyes and a sword for a tail. His name is Elfangor, and he is dying and its 1996 so nobody can call an ambulance or even take pictures.
Elfangor explains that the whole planet is being invaded by Yeerks and there's nothing anyone can do about it. To fight the Yeerks, Elfangor gives the kids the power to turn into any animal that they touch, because apparently a bird, a bear, an elephant, a tiger, and a gorilla can take down an entire alien army equipped with flying saucers and lasers and whatever ridiculous thing Visser Three is building this week. VisserThree himself shows up in his totally awesome Andalite body and proceeds to morph into a monster and eat Elfangor alive. You know, for kids!
So they run for it and somehow manage to escape with their lives. Now aware of the alien threat, they realize that 1) tons of people around them, including Jake's brother Tom and their Vice Principal, Mr. Chapman, are Controllers, 2) The Sharing is a front for the Yeerk Army Recruitment Center and 3) They are totally boned.
