Chapter 1 of The Secret, part 9 of Animorphs Aloud, a fan-produced read-aloud version of the Animorphs series.

Summary: Visser Three has a plan to flush the "Andalite bandits" from their hiding place: cut down the trees of the national forest! The Animorphs have to find a way to stop him, both to protect their identities, and to keep Ax and Tobias (who do live in the forest) safe. Meanwhile Cassie struggles to maintain her moral compass, increasingly uncomfortable with the ethical quandaries she's forced to face in this war with the Yeerks.

Me when thinking about this book: Oh yeah, this is one of the more filler ones, nothing major happens, no real character development

Me when recording this chapter: character has complete mental breakdown, questioning all of their foundational beliefs

You know, for kids!
