A nothlit cannot return to their original form, with very few exceptional circumstances, such as natural metamorphosis, time travel or through the intervention of powerful beings.

Yes! That's The Solution. IIRC David (the sociopath kid) joins the team, fights with Jake (?? maybe Tobias) at the end of the book, and then in the next book they decide to trap him as a rat.
Oh man, being trapped as a rat is way worse, jesus, fuck.
They didn't just trap him as a rat, they trapped him as a rat and then dropped him on an island uninhabited by humans so he couldn't communicate with anyone telepathically. The last book in the arc ended with an anecdote about a girl who was on a cruise or something, and was staring out at the ocean swearing she could hear someone scream for help.
Kids book :chickpea:

The problem they had was that the information David knew was too dangerous. As far as they (the animorphs) knew, they were the only people on the planet who were actively resisting the alien invasion, so if David wanted to, he could go to the aliens and give up humanity's only chance at salvation. I think in the end they just couldn't bring themselves to kill him in cold blood, so they went with that option. Although it actually came back to haunt them later.

Yeah, Applegate didn't mess around. To her credit though, I don't think she tried to diminish the horror of what they were doing
They actually deal with the shitty things the animorphs did. They killed unarmed and helpless enemy combatants out of spite. They recruited mentally and physically disabled kids to their cause, only to later use them as decoy cannon fodder. There’s a time skip in the final book. None of them remained friends, the leader has a form of PTSD and is disgraced, his crimes having been exposed in a trial in The Hague (not his trial, the main bad guy’s, but the leader’s crimes were used as an argument by the defence). The last page ends with 4 of the 5 remaining animorphs implied dying by ramming their a spaceship into a superior enemy.
