The right way to end it would be for them all to get something good out of it, then resume their lives as normal. So yeah, kind of a happily ever after ending, but not really stated as such. And it's not like all their problems would go away, but at least have a nice ending that give closure to the series.

They already did end it the 'right way'. Plus, to go back on what they wrote and change it, would just take away from the message they were trying to send in the first place.

maybe she could re-print a few books with her comments in them? that'd be sweet.

^ This! I would LOVE to see this.

That'd be cool, but I don't see it being completely worthwhile for me to buy the books all over again just for that. I mean, if they want to share comments, they can easily do that over the internet.

Could that be arranged? A commentary on one of the books. I think she has the right to do that and not be in violation of copyright.

Oooh, I would love to see that as well. Beyond all the ghost-written books, I'd love to know what she was thinking at particular events, what she wanted to happen versus what did happen, etc etc.
Hopefully I'll bleed lava otherwise life's not worth living.

K.A actually did have a series bible that she created, which included drawings and things of that nature. From what I've heard though, she's far too embarrassed to show that off. If all of that was included as a collector's edition for the very first book -- #1: The Invasion, then that would definitely be awesome. ;D

Of course it would!!

In fact, I'll need to make something close to that for my role-playing game about Animorphs, and invent some parts... So it'd be easier if Katherine write it herself lol

Online petitions are meaningless, and hardly ever work. If you really want Scholastic to know, you're best off sending it as a hand written letter.

We'd love to do book #55. Or #55 through #60, even. But that's not our decision to make. The publisher would have to make that call.

That doesnt really say hey we have had a plan for 6 more books for the past ten years. It just says yea if we could write it that would be cool.

an encyclopedia/special edition book would be awesome. I doubt it would ever happen tho, its just been too long for something like that to ever be profitable, but you never know
