When Tobias and his friends were given the power to morph, they were also given an important warning: Never stay in a morph for more than two hours. But Tobias broke the time limit, and now he's trapped in the body of a hawk -- forever. When he discovers an important Yeerk secret, Tobias knows he has to do everything in his power to destroy it. But to do so, he'll have to contend with a part of himself that's wrestling for control. A part that isn't human.

Review of 'The encounter' on 'Storygraph'

The Encounter hones in on the full body-horror of morphing when Tobias grapples with his new reality and how much of it his friends share. This book depicts despair, grief, personal loss, and figuring out how to move on when you can't go back.

It's slower and more introspective than the first few books. The rotating first-person narrative style of the series does lend itself to introspection, but this book in particular really shines when Tobias is trying to work through his thoughts.
