What the fuck. I thought that was just a joke. Is this childrens book series actually like this?
On page 20 of book 1 the kindly mentor character gets eaten alive in front of the kids, who have never seen death before. He is telepathic and they feel him dying in their brains, but can’t make a sound or they’ll be discovered and killed.
A few books after that it gets serious and we see our first suicide attempts. It keeps going downhill for 64 books.
kids are not and have never been afraid of dark themes, the best kids media doesn’t talk down to them
The final book wraps up the big battle in the first chapter or so. The rest is literally about them dealing with PTSD and the aftermath of losing the people they loved while living loveless lives as ambassadors, warheroes, and the like.
The book with bat, people who are ingested with the alien parasite commit suicide because a certain type of oatmeal permenantly melds the parasite to the brain and causes it immense pain as it kills the parasite so the kids plan to sneak into the parasite base and flood their nutrient pools with it, dooming everyone inside because it’s better to be dead than infected.
