The Predator by K.A. Applegate
4.0
Ants and lobsters! Horrifying stuff, and an effective setup for book 6, which is, in my opinion, where Applegate really starts to get into the good, meaty part of the overall story. The first 5 books are setup - characters, situation, stakes. Excited for one of the moments I remember the clearest from my original read-through, book 6.
This one has good action, ridiculous hijinks from Axe the Idiot and we FINALLY get to hear from our reluctant morpher, Marco. We hear his doubts, insecurities, home issues, and everything else behind the veneer of wit and sarcasm. His character has been built up as being one way - the shield he's put up - but it's really something else entirely underneath the surface. Pretty good narrative structure so far in revealing the actual thoughts of someone who is almost always hiding his actual feelings.
