Animorphs #8: The Alien | 
pickThe humour in this one stems mostly from Ax‘s curious tastebuds and a fairly disastrous trip to the movies (in which Ax eats popcorn, the box it came in and other people‘s chocolates) but the serious notes deal with the weight of responsibility that Ax feels to Andalite law and customs and his new human friends. Will they hate him if they know the truth about Andalites and Yeerks? Or will withholding knowledge drive a wedge between them?

We get to see things from Ax‘s perspective. He‘s homesick and struggling with where his allegiances are. Andalite law states it‘s illegal to share Andalite secrets with alien species. Ax‘s older brother broke that law by bestowing the ability to morph to the human Animorphs. The rest of the team is growing frustrated and are hurt by Ax‘s inability to fully trust them. Ax has a heavy choice to make: betray his people or his friends?
