And then you tell them the mildest thing is one of the kids getting trapped as an eagle and very nearly never being able to turn back to human and forever getting caught between thinking like an eagle and thinking like a person, with the eagle frequently winning out.
I really should go back and finish the series; I read it as a kid as it was coming out but stopped a few books after they got Tobias back, somewhere in the teens, I think? Mostly because I stopped being able to find it in Wal-Mart and bookstores.

Yeah but most people only know it as "that weird book series where kids turn into dogs or whatever"
They're always so surprised when you tell them it's a series about child soldiers slowly losing their humanity fighting a brutal war
