It didn’t take long for the Animorphs series to hit its stride. The Departure is Animorphs at its best. Cassie is the beating heart of the team, and she is confronted with seriously tough moral quandaries in this book.This is a touching, poignant look at both sides of the Andalite-Yeerk War with some classic Animorphs cheesiness sprinkled in (an escaped leopard?) and it is probably my favorite entry so far.
