I dont expect much popularity, but I have a question: What is your favorite Animorphs book(s)!?

Book: The Hork-Bajir Chronicles, The Ellimist Chronicles
Favorite scene: (HBC) ~ Aldrea morphs Alloran. (TEC) ~ Toomin tricks Father.
Why is it your favorite book: (HBC) ~ The book documents one of the most momentous times in the Animorph universe –– the infiltration of the Hork-Bajir home-world. It also chronicles the action-packed adventures of Aldrea-Iskillion-Falan and Dak Hamee, trying to stop the Yeerk Invasion and the Andalite Quantum Virus, as well as their growing love for each other that eventually turns into a muddled kind of romance, and eventually their marriage and having a child together.
(TEC) ~ Tells the tale of the very beginning of Animorphs –– the origin of the most powerful being in our Galaxy, the savior of Earth, the Andalite Homeworld, and the Hork-Bajir race. The sad story of Toomin and Aguella's love interest and Aguella's death. The death of the wondrous Ketrans by the hasty, non-negotiable Capasins. Toomin's rebirth as the Ellimist, [spoiler]the mechanical wonder of many species memories and life.[/spoiler] And then the Ellimist goes [spoiler]through a wormhole becoming a supernatural being, able to pull on the strings of time themselves.[/spoiler]
Why do you like those moments in the books: (HBC) ~ Aldrea has to trick the guards into thinking she's a larger, more powerful, higher ranking( and slightly off balance) Male, while not conjuring suspicion about Dak going in with her. All-in -all, a very funny moment.
(TEC) ~ It's a moment, also one of the first for Toomin, of victory. He sees that Father has no [spoiler]sense of beauty or wonder, so he uses the seemingly mystical art of music to make a game that Father can not possibly beat him at.[/spoiler]

Popularity for what?  I think its a good question, probably pretty standard around here but not a bad question.

Of the original books, my top 3 favorites are:

#5:  The Predator (Marco)
#11:  The Forgotten (Jake)
#16:  The Warning

Of the Megamorphs:

#2: In the Time of the Dinosaurs

Of the "Chronicles" we'll call them (Visser, The Andalite, The Hork-Bajir, and The Ellimist Chronicles):

The Andalite Chronicles...althou gh I havent read The Ellimist Chronicles, or #53 The Answer, or #54 The Beginning...but I'm sure that reading those three books wouldn't change my answers if the other 60+ books didn't.

I don't recall either of the Alternamorphs books although I may have read one or two of them, but I don't think they really count since they are variable-plot books.
