Animorphs Book 18: The Decision by K. A. Applegate

Wherein Ax discovers that not all traitors are Controllers, and commits to Jake as his Prince. Plus cool Z-space stuff, the Leerans, and cinnamon buns. This series is directly responsible for my love of Cinnabon, as I didn't frequent the mall.

I really love how this is handled, especially since this paradigm shift would take a long time even if little moments can be responsible for large chunks of it. The Z-space theory is great and the snapback effect give a nice sense of urgency to the pacing.
