Did you know that baby skunks are called 'kits'? Have you ever pondered the ethical quandaries of all living life? In this episode, Kaycee is joined by guest and Animorphs expert Marcello to talk about Animorphs #9, The Secret, which dives into some heavy topics (and skunk talk). They talk about the emotional maturity of the book's narrator Cassie, the centrality of the mall to 90s/00s suburban teenage life, and the book series' bad guys the Yeerks using bureaucracy to hatch out their evil plans. Plus, they weigh in on what the Animorphs teach us about ourselves and our morality.
