the chat room transcript that was incredibly hard to read because whoever wrote it had a fundamental misunderstanding as to how those worked
Seriously, although the Albright books have some kick. ass. sci-fi in them. Alternate dimensions? Non-humanoid aliens? "Do you come from a swamp planet?" A giant tree which is also a psychic school? Main character's consciousness gets shoved into his sentient pet's brain for like, 2 and half books?
The bad guy's evil plan is to
I feel like Coville's stuff is a primer to go on and read adult hard sci-fi.
Also speaking of fucked up for kids, I should go back and reread the fourth "My teacher is an alien book" - I had a very hazy view of what was going on when I read it, but I remember they go down to evaluate the earth and visit some horrible third world country where people were starving to death and other awful shit was happening?
Ender's a villain from Animorphs, right?
because at 20 jake is literally a burned out war weary veteran who has nothing else he could do with his life
marco became a movie star
yes and they also do that under the pretext of deciding whether earth will join galactic civilization or get exploded
also rod is only in seymour's body for like
a book, total
search for snout and whatever the last one was
I never actually read the book where this was revealed
Google+
He's the guy that kills all the Yeerks.
All of them.
That makes him a hero.
thanks Skull of Truth
that was REALLY DEPRESSING
it's revealed in andalite chronicles
and it's mentioned a few times in the other side books and at SOME POINT in the series proper
do not read any Wheel of Time
I read eleven books of that crap before I said no more and I wish I'd have done it sooner
THEY DIDN'T PUT HIS BRAIN IN SNOUT THEY PUT IT IN SEYMOUR GET IT RIGHT KILLDOZER GOD
the andalite chronicles
and then I think he finds out in #23, when they read him elfangor's will that the ellimist let him leave, while visser three is staring at him, all "IS THIS GUY IMPORTANT"
and then they find his blind amnesiac mom in #47 when the yeerks finally realize they're all humans and locate his blood at one of the many places they've bled and run it through DNA banks and they identify his mom and then jake's parents are controllers and they all live in the hork bajir valley
I think that's the only Magic Shop book I didn't read. Unless there were more later. I read the dragon-hatching one, the monster ring one, and the girl with the toad one.
that whole last arc starting with the controllers figuring it out and them having to run and hide in the valley
man
man
also tobias's mom has amnesia and doesn't remember him
so after all this time not knowing his mom he finally finds her and welp
tobias's whole arc is just depressing as shit
i like that him and ax are bros in the woods though
and then in one of the megamorphs book tobias is a really pathetic kid and gets recruited to become a willing controller
there was one more after skull of truth that i didn't read
but jeremy thatcher and monster's ring are both fucking incredible
half lobster
half poodle
the dumbest book was the one where it was all DAVID'S BACK and crayak was all 'hey rachel if i give u ultimate power will u kill jake' and she's like HMMMM no and then maybe she kills david??? and the cover was her morphing into angry rachel
the rachel books ended up kinda dumb a lot of the time, there was the one where she got cut in half as a starfish and she grew back from both halves so there was a coward rachel and an asshole rachel, the one where she was allergic to being a crocodile and vomited a crocodile at jonathan taylor thomas and...hmm
I did read Andalite Chronicles but I guess I forgot this detail
Google+
I liked those the best, but partly because Jennifer Murdley's Toad is freaking heartbreaking.
uh the starfish one ruled also so did rachel morphburping a crocodile
he had an iron maiden mounted on his wall
the polar bear one ruled
them all taking turns being fleas riding on the one dude who's a bear
and then when she changed into a butterfly her morph timer was reset
Oh lord they have not.
or the time Marco was on dates with two separate girls at the same time, but one thought he was a seal and the other thought he was an African grey parrot and he had to keep running around and switching between the two
Google+
don't know that didn't happen
i'm not making any of these up
also the time travel story that didnt have dinosaurs when they went to south america
