The Escape (Animorphs #15) | Katherin Applegate

ngl 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 💔😩

“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.

thegirlwiththelibrarybag And *spoilers* it turned out what was being oh so carefully guarded was what Ax quite dismissively called a “primitive version” of an Andalite space toilet… but the shenanigans involved to get to the point of making that discovery?! Top tier and include Cassie acquiring the morph of a racehorse and accidentally getting stuck running (and winning) the race. 2w

That pesky Ellimist is back! And “not interfering” in what could be interpreted as quite an interfering way…

This is a Tobias book and we *finally* see him offered something of a pathway back to being a real boy.

Really enjoyed getting to meet two Yerk free Hork-Bajir and how it challenged all of the Animorphs previous assumptions about them being violent (like, them eating bark and using their blades primarily as tools rather than weapons).

I listened to this while taking a walk and it made me snort laugh more than once. It‘s a time travel adventure that starts with a somewhat delusional plan to steal a bug fighter to land it on the White House lawn to prove to the world that Yeerks exist but very quickly derails into a time travel adventure… when they get into a fight with Visser Three‘s blade ship and tear a rip in the space time continuum.

Not my favourite- Cassie really struggles with the morality of what the Animorphs are doing (and to be fair, they‘ve all gone through a lot of extremely messed up stuff & they are just kids) but I feel she‘s stressing about the wrong stuff.

Not all doom and gloom though, the termite morph went about as well as expected (terribly) but we had some fun with skunk scent (couldn‘t have happened to a nicer Visser) 🦨

Sickness | Katherine A Applegate

My goodness - I can't remember the last time I was this sick. It feels like a freight train ran me over and backed right back up over me. The worst part of being this sick is not being able to read because your head feels like it's swimming! Here's to hoping for healthier days ahead so I can get back to my books!

Librarybelle Hope you feel better soon! 5mo

This nonfiction book explains how a radio broadcast called The War of the Worlds created fake panic and turned into the 1938 invasion of America. There are tons of firsthand accounts included in this book. These include photographs, historical documents, and drawings from the time period. There quotes from important people as well as captions depicting importance. It is very thorough and provides a timeline of events.
