The Animorphs chomp on some Leerans and are weirded out when they suddenly can read each other’s minds. For once the kids solve their problems through actually just talking about their feelings. 

When is it appropriate to touch someone’s face without asking? Will we ever meet an Andalite who isn’t a jock? Why haven’t the Animorphs questioned whether the Ellimist is interfering in this book yet? And what might the Animorphs have learned if they uncovered some genuinely juicy secrets during the Leeran mind-meld....?

Ax finds himself more torn than ever between his allegiance to the Animorphs and to his own people. A traitor is revealed aboard the Ascalin and the kids are forced to seek out possibly the most tragic Andalite of all. 

What might be the translation for the Andalite curse “yaolin”? Why are the Yeerks so determined to take the only landmass on a planet inhabited by a species that lives underwater? Is anyone's backstory in this series as much of a bummer as Prince Galuit?

Sometimes you have to close a door to open a window, yes, but sometimes you have to open a window to Hulk-smash out of another. The Animorphs morph into mosquitoes and develop a lust for blood. The kids go to Z-space. 

Is it rude  to ask an Andalite to lift their hoof to reveal what exactly is going on down there? Does Eddy know how to say the word “irreparably”? (Answer: no!!!) Do any of the Anidorks know how to say “Carnegie”? (Our working theory: the pronunciation is a PA thing!) What the hell is the Animorphs’ plan for absorbing the blood after they’ve consumed it as mosquitoes? Are they going to squash each other?

Ax tries to get a part-time job and fights Visser 3 on top of a McDonalds. Chapman hits a guy with a minivan. 

Who is Jane Carnegie and where is she?! If every Aristh gets a kafit morph, why is Ax so suspicious that Visser 3 has one? Where we robbed of an entire book of the Animorphs trying to prove that Chapman hit a Secret Service agent with a minivan? And isn’t the roof of a McDonalds the perfect location for a one on one brawl to the death?

We empty the mailbag and take a quiz for babies to test our knowledge of the series so far. 

How would Ax place the other Animorphs on his MySpace Top 8? Is Eddy being contrarian for the sake of the podcast? And is Cassie a little more comfortable with violence as a solution to the problems that the Animorphs faced than we realized?

The kids humiliate Visser 3. He retaliates by morphing into a very slow porcupine bird with bad eye sight.

Has any book in the series come together so well in the ending as this one? Shouldn’t the Yeerks be cleaning all of those dead bats out of the Yeerk pool? Now that George Edelman is free, is he destined to play on the next season of Animorphs Survivor? And okay, Chris gets it, hoof tongue doesn't exist-- but what about hoof lips?

The Animorphs return to the Yeerk pool. Rachel goes for a swim. 

How do Yeerks communicate in the Yeerk pool? Can the Animorphs ever go home again? What's with all the meaningful falling in this book? Did the Beach Boys invent The Sharing's aesthetic?

*trigger warning for discussions of SA and SA-related imagery*

The gang orders the happiest of Happy Meals. Rachel has a terrifying dream. Morphing into moles takes the Animorphs all the way from womb to tomb. 

Why is Rachel’s nightmare of being infested by a Yeerk so much more powerful than Jake’s experience in Book 6? Who invented the Gleet Bio-Filter, and why does it feel like a trademarked product? Where is Visser 2, and do all signs point to them being a bit of a prankster?

*content warning for self-harm and sexual assault imagery*

The Animorphs survive a fruity, Freudian hellscape  and infiltrate a mental institution. Meanwhile Miranda, Eddy, and Chris try to figure out what, if anything, in Rachel's past led to her self-destructive tendency to throw herself into harm’s way. 

What do you mean the nail is as tall as a tall woman? Are the chefs union-approved to help carry the boxes from the truck to  the kitchen? Miranda wonders if sweet and sticky banana goo is ever just sweet and sticky banana goo. Eddy enters his Zordon era. Chris stumbles upon three kids, each smaller than a slightly larger child.

Book 17!! Rachel and the others head downtown to attend the grand opening of a Planet Hollywood, but end up saving a man’s life instead.

Why doesn’t Ax thought-speak in his human morph? Could six raptors really carry a man falling from a skyscraper? Is Rachel the first of the Animorphs to say that she would give her life to save another of the Animorphs-- in this case Cassie? And since when does Bruce Willis play the harmonica?
