Tobias is doing "fine" & Thaddeus might not be.
It's the first Tobias book! Our underground podcasting cell talks about hawk-4-hawk, light ecoterrorism, and nepo Yeerks, delighting as KA Applegate follows Chandler's immortal writing advice: "When in doubt, have a hawk fly through the window with a dracon beam."
In , Thaddeus introduces us to New Criticism with some big feelings about Tobias as a metaphor for trans experience.
