** Applegate only personally wrote 1-4; the last ten books were ghostwritten. Much like with Animorphs, the ghostwritten books are enjoyable, but when you have so many cooks in one kitchen, it gets chaotic.

** You could say the same thing for Animorphs and Everworld. Applegate was a potential cash cow because of Animorphs, and she's been pretty clear that the only person at Scholastic who ever read the books was her editor. As someone who read them in middle school, when you're that age, you WANT books that aren't for kids.

***Before somehow traveling back in time to before the Rock hit, the people on Mother had caused her to devolve into a smaller version of herself called "Daughter" so she was probably a lot smaller than she originally was when she hit Earth.

* Why is this for kids? What moronic Scholastic executive looked at this series and thought, "You know who this would be good for? Seven to fourteen year-olds." Other than the first book, ''nothing'' in this entire fucking series is kid-friendly. There is cannibalism and worms eating each other alive and more deaths than what you'd expect in a [[Literature/TheHungerGames Hunger Games]] and dealing with gender roles and ''why is it for kids''?
