Poor, sweet Tobias. It's tough to be an Animorph, but while the rest of them are dealing with school this guy's gotta FIGHT FOR HIS LIFE from the scariest raccoon I've ever read.
One of the best in the series, and refreshing after my recent disappointment in revisiting [b:The Andalite Chronicles|363423|The Andalite Chronicles (Animorphs Chronicles, #1)|K.A. Applegate|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1545201775l/363423._SX50_.jpg|2859410]. Here's the introduction of the free Hork-Bajir: Jara Hamee and Ket Halpak, who Tobias is charged with leading to safety by the Ellimist... in exchange for his power to morph returned to him.
I love Jara and Ket so much. I love the Romeo/Juliet undertones of Rachel and Tobias morphing the couple to save them. In hindsight, I appreciate that they gender-swapped their morphs - especially with Tobias as a character resonating so strongly with trans people at the time.
And that ending. Oh! My hearts.
