The Departure by K.A. Applegate

4.0

I felt so bad for Cassie in this one. She is way too young to have such a burden on her shoulders.
I was surprised at how much I could still enjoy this as an adult. It still makes me laugh and feel for the characters. And I felt it is still relatable in many ways today. It doesn't feel overly dated. It was interesting to get so much of a Yeerk's perspective. I wonder how many feel the same? Their history was fascinating. Cassie is such an amazing, down-to-Earth character, easy to admire.
