A rollercoaster of a book. Mostly takes place on an alien planet, which is cool, but there's lots of trauma as per usual. A child wishes he could die. They watch over 100 heroes commit suicide so they don't get captured by the Yeerks. They choose to sacrifice their own lives to save a planet not even their own. These are 12 year-olds. Absolutely can't wait to get to the next one.
