The Sickness is the 29th book in the Animorphs series, written by Melinda Metz based on an outline by K.A. Applegate and Michael Grant. This installment is narrated by Cassie and follows her as she faces a crisis largely on her own.

The story begins with Ax falling seriously ill due to an inflamed Tria gland, a condition that could be fatal for Andalites. As Cassie and the Animorphs struggle to help him, Jake, Rachel, Tobias, and Marco also contract the sicknessthough for humans, it is less severe1. With most of her team incapacitated, Cassie must take charge.

Meanwhile, Cassie learns that Aftran, a Yeerk who had previously shown signs of rebellion against Visser Three, has been captured. If Aftran is forced to reveal what she knows, the Animorphs' identities could be exposed. Cassie devises a daring plan to infiltrate the Yeerk pool using the facilitys piping system, morphing into an eel to navigate the tunnels.

This book highlights Cassie's resilience and ability to act independently, making it a pivotal moment for her character.
