“Marco doesn‘t believe in optimism.” - Jake

The most reluctant of the Animorphs has a really rough time - my favourite part was when he convinced the others that the best plan was morphing into lobsters to escape pursuit and jumping into a lobster tank at a supermarket (they got sold and almost ended up as dinner).

Marco can‘t catch a break (except for that one nice moment with his dad at the end). The stakes continue to rise! Great instalment.

Dolphin morphs, whale friends, sneaking into places as seagulls and a daring underwater rescue mission that results in saving Ax, the younger brother of the Andalite Prince who gifted the kids with morphing abilities before dying. The stakes are raised again as they not only have another near fatal brush with Visser 3 but learn what Yeerks do to lands they colonise. The sound effects really elevate the audiobook experience. SO MUCH FUN!

In which my heart breaks for Tobias on multiple occasions (and a yeerk ship gets blown up in a spectacular fashion)

I‘m having such a good time with these (2 down, 52 to go) Fluffers McKitty really stole the show here (or rather Rachel as Fluffers). The tragedy of human controllers continues with the reveal of how Mr Chapman became one (to save his daughter - a school friend of the animorphs) from the same fate. The stakes begin to crystallise for the kids as they realise the enormity of what they are up against.

3✨ I think this gives a bit more background on how they morph, and who they are up against. The flea was a fun touch. #SeriesLove @TheSpineView @Andrew65

TheSpineView Well done! 5mo

This is the tumblr post that made me curious enough about Animorphs to actually pick one up and start reading… from the comments on the original post - option number 3 is the “not true” statement because the character was in more than 2 books…

I‘m looking forward to the “parasitic alien slugs can get addicted to Instagram at oatmeal” storyline 😝

The second audiobook just came through for me on Libby today… so will be back into it soon

julesG Gah, do you have to post about intriguing books so often? 5mo
BiblioLitten That‘s the one that‘s got me most curious too! Instant oatmeal and aliens! 😁 5mo
BookmarkTavern Hahahaha! What a fantastic poll. 😂 5mo

I didn‘t read these when I was a kid because the covers freaked me out… but I saw the audiobook on Libby and decided to give it a go - and IT‘S SO GOOD! Quite a bit happens in the first instalment - starting with coming across a dying alien who gives them the ability to morph - and charges them with saving humanity. My favourite part involved a tiger enclosure. There are 54 books in the main series, potentially as action packed as this one!

BookmarkTavern I read all these books as a kid! They are intense! 💕 5mo
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @BookmarkTavern, Tobias losing his ability to morph back into his human body in book 1 was a surprise (not so much that it happened, more that it happened in book 1) he didn‘t even make it to his POV book. Can‘t wait to see what other storylines will crop up in a series of such epic length. 5mo
BookmarkTavern These are all a wild ride. I need to go through some boxes and see if I still have my scholastic fair copies. Thanks for reminding me of these! 5mo

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @BookmarkTavern 🤞🏼for still having scholastic fair copies! 5mo
peanutnine I loved this series as a kid! I could see how the covers would have freaked you out though, they are intense 5mo
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @peanutnine, I wish I‘d given it a go back then. 5mo
BiblioLitten I would see these in the school library and never had any inclination to pick them up! 😄😄 5mo
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @BiblioLitten, I‘m only picking them up now because I read a tumblr post that was like “guess which one of these wasn‘t an animorphs plot line” and then listed a bunch of the wildest plot lines you could imagine… and then not too long after, I saw that they were available on Libby as audiobooks… 5mo
BiblioLitten The cover itself indicates the wild plot lines! 5mo
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @BiblioLitten, the cover barely scratches the surface. I‘ll have to see if I can find the tumblr post about animorph storylines that made me curious about it… 5mo

Back on the horse with my Animorphs read through! The group manages to rip a hole through space and time and end up lost in the rain forest not knowing when they are or how to get back. It always surprises me when I reread these how much body horror is in them. 😅 I love it and it makes a lot of sense as to why I am the way I am today. 🤣😂 There‘s a moment where Jake wonders whether Ax has a sense of humor and I can assure you, ⬇️

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm Ax is the funniest one of them all.
#SeriesLove2024 #Roll100 1st finished book of 2024! ❤️🤘😆🤘❤️

Roary47 I‘ve always wanted to read these. It might be a goal one of these days to at least start them. 11mo
MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm @Roary47 I‘m honestly really lucky to have the whole collection. I was helping a friend of mine move and he offered them to me. I‘d only ever been able to get a few of them growing up. I was ecstatic! 😍 Someone mentioned before that they had found some on Libby and at their library. I see them every now and then at Half Price Books if you have one near you. 11mo
Roary47 I‘ll give that a shot. I always wanted them, but I wasn‘t a strong enough reader so my dad didn‘t want to overwhelm me. The yellow Nancy Drew books were easier for me to read so he got me that set and the American Girls. Or maybe he just wasn‘t sure about people turning into other things. 😂 11mo
MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm @Roary47 My parents were more concerned with having to buy me so many books constantly. There was a new book about every month! 😵‍💫 They found out my school and public library had them so they didn‘t see any reason to spend money on something I could get for free. But they were so popular they were pretty much always out. I just sort of made due with what I could get. Having my friend give me his had my inner child literally dancing for joy! 😅 11mo

A spontaneous audio download because my local library has suddenly added the whole series to the catalogue. This was a really fun blast from the past. Ticked all my nostalgia boxes.

This is told from Marco‘s perspective and involves the team meeting up with an unlikely ally, Erek the android. Erek is a Chee, created by a race of aliens that are now extinct. Incapable of violence, Erek and a few other Chee wish to reprogram themselves to fight using a stolen technology the Yeerks have in their possession. It‘s up to the Animorphs to steal back the tech and change the future of an entire race.
