pickngl Marco broke my heart in this one. His biggest heartbreak (his Mom‘s death) and closely guarded secret (she‘s actually alive and an unwilling human controller for a very high ranking Yeerk) previously only known by Jake - comes to light and Marco is left to deal with the consequences.
There‘s shark morphs and some lighted jail breaking of some parrots from a fast food chain - but this one was 💔😩

Thumbs up from the 9 year old, she is loving the writing from an animals perspective. It was a cute story & a nice way to highlight some of the dangers that the otter community is facing. The timeline is a little wonky in a few places but the 9 year old didn‘t mind.
pick“I had won. I think it was the first time in my entire life that I‘d won any kind of athletic contest. Sure, I was a horse - but a victory is a victory.”
I love that every once in a while we get a book where the Animorphs get to be a little goofy, where the stakes are not quite so high… and in this one we had yeerk controllers in wild horses trying to discover what alien technology the airforce had locked up in TOP SECRET AREA, Zone 91.
#Bibliophile Day 21: #AuthorWPseudonym #AuthorWithPseudonym - well i will do you one better, actual “name” is Pseudonymous Bosch - how clever, right? This Secret Series is one that I own (not sure if I have all the books), but haven‘t gotten around to reading yet.

pickI (re)read this book for my kids‘ fantasy book club at the library. For some, it was their first experience with an epistolary novel! It‘s a format I adore, so I was honored to introduce them to it. I love that the tale is utterly wacky (invisible, levitating, shape-shifting, bossy chickens!) while also being a gentle exploration of grief (for Sophie‘s abuela, with whom she shared a special closeness, and for her uncle, whom she‘d never met).👇🏻
