When a robot built for construction work first sees an angular, sleek prototype military robot slink onto the base he's working outside of, he immediately falls in love. The problem is, only anomalous bots understand the concept of love, and the lowly laborbot has not deviated from his default programming once. So he thinks, anyway. When the laborbot is scheduled for decommission, the military bot cannot possibly live without him, and the two bots set out on a path to find the fabled anomalous robot utopia Root. COVER ARTIST: Aimee Cozza PUBLISHER: 9mm Press YEAR: 2024 LENGTH: 196 pages  AGE: Adult GENRE: Science Fiction RECOMMENDED: Highly Queer Rep Summary: The main characters are robots, likely closest to aro/ace but those terms aren't quite applicable.

Animorphs Book 9: The Secret by K. A. Applegate

Cassie works through the tension between her ideals and the reality of war with the Yeerks, wrestling with the cost of survival for the human, animal, and alien bystanders. The nightmares are getting worse for everyone.

Each of the Animorphs have their own sense of morality and that starts to really stand out in this second round of perspectives. Cassie has the most empathy for the animals caught in the various crossfires and it's usually in her books that the most attention is paid to the Controllers who are hurt by their fight. The thing I don't understand is the decision to have this cover art feature a wolf when skunks feature WAY more prominently in this one.
