Fans of the Animorphs

Summary

The blue box Elfangor used to create the Animorphs has been found by a kid named David. David has no idea what he has – or what it can do. But Marco does. And when he sees David with it, he knows the Animorphs have to get that box. At any cost.

But what should have been a simple plan ends up going horribly wrong. And David is on the run with the Animorphs and Ax. Now they have only two choices: turn David over to the Yeerks. Or make him the sixth Animorph…

PART ONE OF A TRILOGY

Prompt:
A Difficult Choice

Questions:

- It doesn’t get touched on after this, but David said “I found it…in a hole in a wall…like it had been put there or something.” Ellimist at work or KASU? Do you think he’s got more of a role in the books than just the times we see him? Or was it a freak accident like Ax suggested?

- The summit meeting is to discuss ‘all the problems in the Middle East’ but after Erik offers this tidbit, all attention is paid to Yeerk angle, obviously. Do you think ‘real world’ issues like (whatever the hell was going on 10 years ago) were generally left out of the series because they were books? Because OMG YEERKS? Do you think current issues had any place in the story, would have made it better/worse, or should the kids have gone on focusing on the aliens and kicking ass like they did?

- First impression of David? Of David’s family? Of David’s reaction to…everything? (Just in this book.)

- In the vote to make David an Animorph, it was Marco and Ax against, Jake, Tobias, Cassie and Rachel for it. Do you think this is telling about their characters? Using the arguments and situation in the book (okay, we all know how it ends, pretend we don’t!) how would you have voted?

- Finally! Someone used a gun on the alien bastards!

I’m sorry I’ve been absent so long, but buffyangellvr23 has been doing a great job picking up the slack, and props to her. You are awesome, honey.

- Common sense: be nice, be literate, be mature. If you can’t handle that, we’ll ask you to leave.

- Start on topic. If your conversation takes you into the land of ferrets and their evil quest to take over the world, run with it. But please at least start off talking about the book or subjects at hand.

- The questions and prompts are optional. Do not feel obliged to keep your comments only to what we have posted. They are a guide, a starting point, not a limitation.

- There is no time limit.

- Don’t delete your comments, unless it’s for the purpose of fixing typos.
