TOBIAS

My name is Tobias. I won't tell you my last name. I can't tell you my last name, or the name of the city where I live. I want to tell you everything, but I can't give any clues to my true identity. Or the identity of the others. Everything I will tell you is true. I know it's going to seem unbelievable, but believe it anyway. I am Tobias. I'm a normal kid who does okay in school – not great, but not bad either. Just okay. I guess I'm a dork, kind of. Big, but not big enough to keep from getting picked on. I have blonde hair, kind of wild because I can never get it to look right. Anyway, none of that matters now. What does matter is that Earth is my home. Earth is my home...and the Yeerks are here. Still with me? Cool. Yeerks are these parasitic alien slugs who take human hosts by crawling into their ears and controlling their minds. It's especially crazy because you can't trust anybody. You never know who's a Controller and who's not...
