“"I don't really know what happened. I just fell out of the nest." But the second Soren said those words he felt a weird queasiness. He almost knew. He just couldn't quite remember, but he almost knew how it had happened, and he felt a mixture of dread and shame creep through him. He felt something terrible deep in his gizzard.”
— Soren explaining to Gylfie how he got captured; Chapter Three: "Snatched!", p. 29
“"Bye-bye," Auntie cooed, and waved a tattered wing. "Bye-bye, 12-8, you fool!"”
— After she kills Hortense; Chapter Seventeen: "Hortense's Story", p. 128
“Oh, if only I were perfectly moon blinked [hypnotized]. If only I were...”
— Grimble; Chapter Nineteen: "To Believe", p. 143
“You can do it! You believe! Feel it in your gizzard. You are a creature of flight. Fly, my children. Fly!”
— Grimble; Chapter Twenty-two: "The Shape of the Wind", p. 162
“I have redeemed myself by giving belief to the wings of the young. Blessed are those who believe, for indeed they shall fly.”
— Old Boreal Owl prayer, Grimble's last words; Chapter Twenty-two: "The Shape of the Wind", p. 162

The Hork-Bajir Chronicles (1966, 1968–69, 1998)
Although the events in this story occur between The Ellimist Chronicles and The Andalite Chronicles, the entire story is being told by Jara Hamee to Tobias after book #13, The Change, and before the events of #23 The Pretender. Tobias makes reference to his restlessness and the fact that there were no missions planned (Prologue, pg ix). However, in The Pretender, (pg 12) Tobias makes reference to the fact that they had "worked plenty lately, dealing with the horrifying matter of David, the first new Animorph." This places the last possible "break" before book #20, the first book in the David trilogy
