Aliens learning how to be human is my new favorite scifi trope.

3.5 stars. Our first book from Ax's perspective: an interesting take on what it is to be human from an outsider's perspective; moral dilemmas that are rather challenging for an older children's book. I didn't enjoy it as much as some of the previous books but it was still an interesting ride.

Interesting seeing things from the perspective of Ax, the Andalite. I like that we learn a little bit more about the Andalites and their customs. I'm interested to see more. Love Ax!
