Yeah, well, morfowt . . . never mind -- that's too mean.
Unfortunately I think that some of the very nature of the Animorphs series will be a hindrance. A lot of newbies to the series, especially younger newbies, won't understand a lot of things: like the massive amounts of 90's references that made it so funny at times.
Don't underestimate kids. I had to learn that the hard way -- my neice always keeps me on my toes with how much she understands, so I really have to be careful what I say to her. . . . But, then again, she always has her dear old uncle (okay, I'm almost 24, I'm not that old) to explain references she doesn't understand. . . .
