Do you mean between

spoilerMarco and his mom?

I agree it's a little contrived. It was introduced pretty early on in the series, book #5.

That family connection is pretty unlikely, and there's Tobias/elfangor/ax, too.

I guess Rachel/Jake, but that's a one of the first paragraphs, not really a reveal.

I think that's it?

Spoiler tags didn't work - yes, I was obliquely referring to that. I think that arc was completed in the book before this one.

Animorphs.

Cool friends fighting aliens...more accurately, the pariah of a fascist civilization, minutes before being eaten alive in front of said "ccol friends" persuades and then bioengineers human child soldiers to facilitate an end to an ill-conceived and failing war now reduced to unilaterally exterminating a parasitic, physically disabled species, itself undergoing a violent civil rights movement on their own planet based on their self-recognized flaws, struggling to realize its place in a universe where godlike beings exist and decide not to offer remedy(rules of the god game) and spectate while the parasites overwhelm all vulnerable species in the known universe.

The child soldiers agree to resist the parasites, but at least a minority of them believe genocide is the wrong answer. After being physically and emotionally tortured, shot, repeatedly disemboweled and having their limbs hacked or bitten off by hosts of the parasitic species, however, all of the child soldiers begin taking violent, morally devastating actions that end their lives as they know them.

Use spoiler tags as necessary! There are always new readers discovering this series.
