Series re-read #44 The Unexpected

The Yeerks are transporting pieces of a crashed blade ship somewhere. The Animorphs want to get the scraps and show them to the world. But a string of bad decisions leaves Cassie stuck on board a plane. It's going to someplace with the letters SYD, but she doesn't know until after she lands where that's at. The controllers catch onto her and in the fight, she ends up bailing out. Now she's alone, in the middle of the Australian outback. And Visser Three is there too.

I know this one is gonna get dumped on, because of the last time around LOL.

I don't like the whole isolating a single character for the whole book thing. It doesn't do much for me not having the whole group involved in the adventure.

And according to one of our Australian fans, there are some not-so-good Aussie depictions or stereotypes in the whole thing.

At least next week's is a book I enjoy a little more.

All those solo Cassie books?

Lies. She totally roofied the others and told them later that they had some sort of alien disease/field trip to the Hork Bajir homeworld/whatthefuckever.She was off with Aftran the whole time.

"I missed you too, Jake!"

LIES. >:O

This is clearly the truth of the whole series. Really, all of her moralising was just a concentrated attempt to hide her own wicked, wicked ways!

You know, the best part is that I can totally see this happening, too.

We should all be glad that Edriss never infested Cassie.
