October 28 It's Giving Me the Isk (Book 26)
The kids discover what makes the Iskoort so important to the Ellimist. Jake takes a leap of faith.
Is the Yoort solution ethically sound, or just better than Yeerk infestation? Is Jake jumping off the platform to acquire the falling Howler the coolest thing in the whole series? What right does Jake have to call Cassie's ethical pondering "happy talk"? And why the hell is everyone aware of the criminal guild's existence?

October 21 Howler Bechdel Test (Book 26)
The Animorphs take a tour of the Iskoort city. Jake nearly dies. The kids learn the origin of the Howlers.
Why is Book 26 in particular so preoccupied with children, and what does that tell us about the intended audience for these books? Why is KA so obsessed with ideas of memory transfusion? Should the Iskoorts have been cuter? Does Iskoort society have a class structure? Does Rachel know about LL Bean’s incredible return policy?

October 14 Hoisted by Their Own Iskoort (Book 26)
The Ellimist stops time to tell the kids a story. The scope of the series gets much bigger.
Is our beloved series growing up? Who the hell is more powerful than the Ellimist and Crayak? Is it possible that the source of all of the Animorphs' narrations are actually just these Iskoort memory viewing devices? Do the Andalites know far less about the galaxy than Ax realizes? Was Lion King even on tour when this book came out, or is KA just losing her mind from all of the time-hopping?

September 23 Exit, Pursued by Venber (Book 25)
The Animorphs finally arrive at the secret Yeerk base. Marco and Cassie bear witness to something horrific. The kids trainhop their way home.
Why does this book have so many good ideas, and yet seem to have nothing to say in the end? Does Book 25 deliberately echo Book 11? Is Marco/Cassie possibly the Animorphs pairing with the least chemistry? Why couldn't Derek be the new Animorph instead of David? And will any of these plot threads matter in future books?

September 16 Show Me the Weighted Blanket (Book 25)
The Animorphs flee into the Arctic. Marco gets delusional. Cassie is forced to be the moral authority. Ax shares the ominous story of The Five.
Do any of the Animorphs remember why they're even on this mission? Is Tobias getting funnier, or does Marco the narrator just make everyone funnier? How does the Five's backstory compare with that of the Howlers? Are grizzly bears more dangerous than this book makes them out to be? Is skiing a kind of scooting?

September 09 Never Eat Your Idols (Book 25)
Marco goes on a date. Erek the Chee arrives with bad news about satellites and swimming pools. Visser 3 frolics in a field. A Taxxon eats itself.
Do the Andalites have innate psychic abilities? Can the Chee swim? Does anything that happens in these first few chapters actually matter? And is our first ghostwriter... actually pretty good at this?

July 16 A Dash of Chapman (Book 24)
Anteaters arrive. Cells explode. The kids go skydiving into the Gardens.
Should Ax be guarding the morph cube if he never checks behind him? How small is too small? Are the Helmacrons just a parody of petty adult politics? Have the AniCoolKids finally course-corrected from their Andalite Chronicles detour? And how will Chapman face the schoolchildren after this?

July 08 Fourth Moon of the Second Planet of a Dying Star Over My Hammy (Book 24)
The Animorphs redirect the Helmacrons to a new enemy: Visser 3! Cassie, Marco, and Tobias get even smaller.
Where does the morph cube get its energy from? Why was 90s media so obsessed with storylines involving shrinking? Does Ax enjoy making every dad in this series uncomfortable? And does Marco enjoy the Helmacron politics a little bit too much?
