When his dirigible finally lands in Louisiana, he finds the Rougarou is gone and in his stead is his handsome son, Theo, who seems to care for everyone but himself.

As rivals arrive to challenge Theo for power and destroy the life Bennett has built, ...

Animorphs Book 34: The Prophecy by K. A. Applegate

The Animorphs have an opportunity to help equip a Hork-Bajir insurgence. Cassie tests her control over morphing. Many of these books deal with loss, but this one has a lot of sudden shock & a very unique circumstance for mourning.

I really liked the opportunity to revisit the Hork-Bajir Planet. It's a really cool space, and even the description of it after the occupation is complete was moving. Because of the one-book nature of a particular character a lot had to be processed very quickly, but I think enough time is given for the emotional processing to feel realistic.
