My name is Marco.
People call me Marco the Magnificent.
Mar-velous Marco. The Amazing Marco.
And of course, all the girls just call me ...
gorgeous. Okay, maybe I've never actually
heard
anyone call me gorgeous, but I am confident that
someone, somewhere, must have called me gorgeous at some
point.
Or not.
But definitely cute. I've heard "cute" with
my own ears.
And I'll soon be hearing it a lot more because
I've made a major change. I've cut my

All except for
that part about "magnificent" and "marvelous."
Everything else I tell you will be true. I know it
will seem incredible. But it will be the absolute
truth.
Let's start with the reason why I won't tell you
my last name: I have enemies. We all sorta do.
But these guys are very powerful, very dangerous
enemies. Not like the guy in your class who keeps
calling you "dork-wad." And if they knew who I
was, I'd be dead so fast I wouldn't even
know I was dead. The Yeerks don't play games.
The Yeerks don't worry about pity or kindness.
They don't care that I'm just a kid. The Yeerks
plan to enslave or destroy the entire human
race.
They won't hesitate to roll right over little old
me.
The Yeerks aren't just
my
