You can find them all free online, with the author's support. I'm rereading them now and they're almost as much fun as they were when I was in middle school, although I tend to notice plot holes more now.

Tiny me was fine with them. I just thought "Well, they're fighting, of course they're going to get hurt!", so I never even got the thrill of thinking I was being sneaky with it, just a normal book to me. So glad I'm in that fandom, it's like 1/6 of my active headspace at any given time.

Aaand now my brain has unlocked dormant knowledge about yeerks that it totally didn't need to store but apparently had.

u/Naixee 28d ago

This was my childhood. What was the gist of this story?

Basically, an alien gives this group of kids the ability to shapeshift (“morph”) into animal to prevent a different, EVIL, alien species from taking over humankind/earth.

u/meeper12355 28d ago

Man the covers of those books used to freak me out as a kid

u/cavaticaa 28d ago

Yeah, there were a lot of extra limbs spurting out and general body horror in Animorphs. And Tobias DOES have the luck to end up a 6 limbed bird.

There were Animorphs Transformers figures, they were absolutely fucking horrifying
