Overview
Another family is infested with Yerks book where a family funeral means a long trip where Tom (controlled by a Yerk) won’t survive since they need to feed on alien lights every three days. So the plot turns from turning Jake’s dad into a controller to killing him.
Jake struggles with the personal matter.
The family funeral is of Jake’s Great-Grandpa who fought in WWII mirroring Jake being in a secret war
The plot isn’t super important since as expected, nothing really changes from the beginning to the end.
But this at least has Jake have to face being a person & kid with personal ties and emotions that go up against the needs in fighting this war. Of course, this personal situation doesn’t really match much of war. Except maybe it does with how you have a duty as a soldier for the cause while also trying to stay alive for you and your family at home.
Don’t know how intention the end is, but Jake ponders having trinkets & medals from this Yerk war in the future like his great-grandfather. This to me reads that he’s completely in the mindset that he is a soldier first and his main identity now. This feels particularly sad to me since he’s really still just a kid.
Jake & the Animorphs have to be a soldier all the time with no real break
