I'm going to be ignoring the Elimist, Crayak, and the Helmacrons because I find that story arc ridiculous. I'm also going to be working from book 23, the last book that Applegate wrote on her own (other than 24, with the Helmacrons, and 26, part of the Elimist/Crayak story arc) and ignoring the rest, especially 54 (the abomination). Please review. More chapters coming.
