I flew out through her window into the night. Rachel's sad eyes seemed to follow me. I hated the way they all felt sorry for me. All they could see was that I was not what I used to be. All they saw was that I had no home.

But they didn't really understand. I hadn't had a real home since my parents died. I was used to being alone.

And I had the sky.

If it were a competition, Cassie would obviously be the best Animorph--but since it's not, I can understand why we love(d) Tobias. What a classic woobie! A book from his PoV is a delight. While these kids persist in doing dumb things (granted, they are kids), in Tobias it's evidence of his displacement and turmoil. I only wish we saw more into his connection with the Andalite prince, which gets pulled out for convenient infodumping, but would be interesting to examine.
