Yeah, those are two different books.  #35 was Hanson, #12 was Jeremy.

Ah, so they tried the celebrity approach in two different books? I haven't read the last 10 books in sooo long, I forget the details.

More than that, actually.  Arnold Schwarzenneger (probably spelled that wrong) was in #17, and Joe Bob Fenestre (who I think is probably supposed to represent Bill Gates) is in #16.  I'm fairly sure there's more, but that's all that comes to mind at the moment.

This list has shortened significantly over the years; I used to live and breathe this series. But here's what has stuck with me for quite a while now:

  • The phrase "Let's do it!" never fails to make me think of Rachel and Marco's banter.
  • Also, the phrase "Caution: falling objects" always brings to my mind that horrible moment when Tobias realizes his fly morph has landed inside an occupied toilet bowl.
  • I learned the word "guano" from Animorphs, and every time I hear it, I have a mental image of spandex-clad teenagers wading through a ton of it to get into the Yeerk Pool.
  • When I see meteors, planes, and satellites at night, I usually find myself briefly wondering if it could finally be the Andalites coming to help us out.
  • I get a good laugh when I see kids wearing Jake's distinctively terrible haircut.
  • When I was first introduced to the satellite view option on Google maps, I remember thinking, "So this is what the city looks like for Tobias."

Yeah, but Arnold and Bill weren't used by The Sharing to advertise the organization.

I meant The Sharing tried to use a celebrity for advertisment in more than one book.

Mmm... back when the series was actually coming out, I remember basically living and breathing Animorphs. Every animal, every situation, I was able to link to the series somehow. A few things have stuck with me strongly since then- the bands the Animorphs like (NIN and Offspring especially) have always had that effect on me. Seeing a hawk has never failed to remind me of Tobias. I've never met an Andalite that didn't remind me of Ax. Oddly, one of the strongest reminders of the series, for me, is Mm-bop. I think I was just that impressed that a joke like that would come from Cassie. I know, I'm weird.

Yeah... In fact, it was "Sharing", alone, and as it was in France, understand that as the French word for "Sharing" (In the French version of Animorphs, The Sharing is "Le Partage", this association was "Partage" ;)). This association was made to help children around the World... but when the guy came to me in the street and told me "Partage", I asked him if he was an alien who try to conquer the World... He said "no", but I said that the aliens would say the same ^^' lol
