This series was a special interest of mine when I was in elementary school. I was absolutely obsessed and loved it dearly. This is the first time I've really attempted a re-read of the series, and so far it holds up - while some of the references might be dated now, the characters still feel real and the conflict still feels intense and all consuming. I'm excited to continue the series and see if I continue to feel this way.
Graphic: War, Body horror, and Violence
Minor: Child abuse, Death of parent, and Bullying

I really enjoyed this. I hadn’t even know this series existed. What a great read for 10+ years old. Aliens, family and friend dynamics and lots of action.
