ISSUE #128
WEEK OF DECEMBER 24, 2000


Surprise! It's me Guillermo, bringing you my Christmas present to you. Bet you're surprised to see me (well not me physically, but you know). No I'm not back for good, I'm sending this to you from the school computers in the library. But this will be the LAST AW for the year 2000 that I will be able to write. I will not send AW next week as it is Winter Vacation and I'm not in school. Thank you Nothlit for sending AW while I'm reading them at school (I love the tiney changes you've done). By now, I'm pretty sure you have have all heard that Animorphs is ending, yeah well bummer. Well enough of me, read on (and make sure to read the Closing Remarks too)...

AWN FORUM
&&&&&&&&&
Last week's forum question was: What was your most memorable Animorph moment?

My most memorable moment is just reading the books. The sensation of having and looking at a brand new Animorph book, and then reading "My name is", it was just amazing for me.
- Guillermo

Sorry, I won't post the responses I got cause my situation (librarian+email=trouble).

NEWS

I loved the headlines at the top of the news article, so I decided to keep them!:

-- LARGE #51 & 52 COVER RELEASED
Thanks to Amazon.com, here's the large image of #51 The Absolute. However, there is no cover quote and no Scholastic logo, so this is NOT the final copy. You can find the cover here: http://images.amazon.com/images/P/0439115256.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

And to go along with the cover, here is the official summary:
The Yeerks are no longer behind a "silent" invasion, they plan to take over the National Guard to prepare for an all-out war against humanity and Earth. Marco, the other Animorphs, and Ax couldn't be less prepared for this news. And Jake is so depressed he can't lead. The only option for the Animorphs is to alert the public, thereby giving away their closely guarded secret.

Also the cover to #52 The Sacrifice has been put up thanks to Booksamillion, the cover is Ax to Racoon, let's just say it's not one of the best covers: http://images.booksamillion.com/bam/covers/0/43/911/526/0439115264.jpg
No official summary is available at this time.

-- EVERWORLD #12 TITLE CONFIRMED
A few weeks ago, Nothlit posted the cover title to the last Everworld book, Entertain the End. However, he did not know if it was confirmed or not. But I can now CONFIRM that that is indeed the title to Everworld #12!

On the book charts this week, uh.... currently there are no Animorphs books on the USA Today's Top 150 Book Charts.
