Summary
“My name is Virgil.
I can’t tell you my last name. Or my friends’ last names. Or the name of our city. If we reveal too much, our enemies might find us. Then there’d be nothing standing between the Earth and total devastation.”
***Virgil, Thomas, Logan, Patton and Roman are the Animorphs: humans charged with defending humanity from the alien threat known as the Yeerks. Virgil considers himself the safe and rational one, but he’s getting tired of reminding Roman that their job isn’t all fun and games.
Now isn’t the time to make any mistakes, though. Not when the Yeerks’ next big move is looming on the horizon. Not when Patton is starting to have these strange dreams. . .

Summary
Mara moved one of his arms up and down, as if testing that the joint worked. The uneasy feeling increased. Virgil felt like he should be somewhere else, doing something else. As a doll, he innately understood that his purpose was different than humans, but he wasn’t even sure what that was.
“Um...Mara?” he asked. “Why am I here?”
“I created you,” Mara said, nudging his back upright so he sat on her palm.
“Oh. Why?”
She huffed a little bit. Virgil recognized it as a laugh. “You’re an existential one, aren’t you? You’ve only been around for a few minutes.”
“It’s just on my mind,” Virgil said, attempting a shrug. “If you don’t know what you’re doing with me, can you put me down? I want to look around or something.”
Mara pressed her lips in a thin smile. “What makes you think I don’t know exactly what I’m doing with you?”

Summary
Roman is a ghost haunting his previous apartment. Well, "haunting" is a strong word. Roman knows the current occupant is going through some hard times, and he really just wants to make the guy happy.
No, if anyone is being haunted, it's Roman. Because the Grim Reaper won't leave him alone.
