Honestly I’m starting to wonder how much of the terror in this series is completely ant-based. I think we have to be between 10-30% ant horror, at this point. But this time, it’s rainforest flavored ant horror! KA still hits us with that variety!

Back to your regularly scheduled Animorphs, and back at it again with a Marco book. Rule #1 about Androids? Must love dogs.

Happy Spooky Season everyone! For this week we're doing something different, and are hopping into one of our favorite books just in time for Halloween. Hide your vegetables...or don't!

Let’s talk about the value of skunks.  First of all: cute.  Second of all: not a colony insect that creates untreatable and unrestrained terror and trauma in the psyche of a 14 year old girl.  That’s really all you need, right?

Finishing up Book 8 with our resident alien, Aximili. It's hard to focus on assassinating the enemy general when you really miss your mom and dad.

Welcome back to Lit Kid Lit! We get our first book from our resident alien boy. He’s got to navigate his own prime directive on earth and we’re just along for the ride. This got a bit long, so look forward to part two in two weeks!

The very first Big Book of our readthrough: Megamorphs 1: The Andalite’s Gift! If the Andalite’s gift was a sentient and sharp cloud, I mean. Also some good old fashioned TV amnesia!

And we’re back after a break from last week! Our new godhead pal, The Ellimist, gives the animorphs a full IMAX experience and an offer they really don’t want to refuse. Meanwhile: Rachel’s dad is doing the same thing! A/B plot thematic mirroring!

Jake’s second book, and it’s got a little bit of everything! References to The Fly, War Crimes, Mind Control, Empathically Experiencing the Death of Another Sentient Being--you name it, we got it here at the Animorphs Trauma Team!

Book Five! How quickly do you think Nika turns around on her long standing Marco-hate? The answer is, basically, immediately.
