pickI started this series a long time ago, but never finished it. The first book is still so good! Loved MacLeod Andrews' narration of the audiobook 😄
I'll have to try out the newer graphic novel adaptations next as I restart the series 🙂

pickI love that the Megamorphs books switch between all the Animorphs kids - it really adds to the drama and so much happens in this one. From getting flung back in time and eating trex meat around a campfire, to Magic School Bus and Hansen (lol) references to the Big Bang… there was a lot happening, that‘s barely scraping the surface.
Disappointing that the trex morph wasn‘t retained when they made it back to their time 🦖
pickThis book made me WHEEZE because I was laughing so hard - the yeerks have a major weakness and it‘s maple and ginger instant oatmeal. Jake had a monologue about oatmeal not playing a major role in famous historical battles and Rachel solved problems by going through walls in elephant morph and making it Visser Three‘s problem by throwing the oats into a yeerk pool and him in after it.
No notes.
“We can‘t back out now,” Marco said. “I‘ve 36 boxes of maple and ginger instant oatmeal at home, in easy open single serve pouches.”
Ahh yes, the well known Animorphs to hard core communist pipeline… come on in! the water is fine!
(Now if they‘d gone for Animorphs to vocal anti war activist pipeline, they might just be on to something)
pickngl Marco broke my heart in this one. His biggest heartbreak (his Mom‘s death) and closely guarded secret (she‘s actually alive and an unwilling human controller for a very high ranking Yeerk) previously only known by Jake - comes to light and Marco is left to deal with the consequences.
There‘s shark morphs and some lighted jail breaking of some parrots from a fast food chain - but this one was 💔😩
pick“I had won. I think it was the first time in my entire life that I‘d won any kind of athletic contest. Sure, I was a horse - but a victory is a victory.”
I love that every once in a while we get a book where the Animorphs get to be a little goofy, where the stakes are not quite so high… and in this one we had yeerk controllers in wild horses trying to discover what alien technology the airforce had locked up in TOP SECRET AREA, Zone 91.
pickThat pesky Ellimist is back! And “not interfering” in what could be interpreted as quite an interfering way…
This is a Tobias book and we *finally* see him offered something of a pathway back to being a real boy.
Really enjoyed getting to meet two Yerk free Hork-Bajir and how it challenged all of the Animorphs previous assumptions about them being violent (like, them eating bark and using their blades primarily as tools rather than weapons).
pickCRAZY work making me care about Elfangor - the andalite warrior prince who DIES DRAMATICALLY in book one after giving the “Animorphs” the power to morph AND for making it EVEN MORE TRAGIC in retrospect for the already most tragic of the Animorphs kids.
I‘m feeling totally normal and fine about it
