About this ebook

The wildly popular books by K.A. Applegate are back! The Animorphs return in this update of the classic series.

The Earth is being invaded, but no one knows about it. When Jake, Rachel, Tobias, Cassie, and Marco stumble upon a downed alien spaceship and its dying pilot, they're given an incredible power -- they can transform into any animal they touch. With it, they become Animorphs, the unlikely champions in a secret war for the planet. And the enemies they're fighting could be anyone . . . even the people closest to them.

Ratings and reviews

It could have used more descriptive terminology, after all these youths do not seem to be entirely uneducated. It also only covers such a short period of time. I just feel like more could have been done. The ending was not very impressive however i do hold out hope that the other books in the series will be better thought out.

These books are great and I would buy them all but there are over 50 books in this series. 4 dollars a piece for these is ridiculous. Do a collection and I'll pay for it but I'm not paying over 200 dollars for a series I'd read in 2 days.

When i was in 5th grade we had to read for a certain amount of time, the problem was, i was never into any books. Until my first animorph book, when the last day of 5th grade came i had spent so much time reading them throught the year that my teacher gave me her whole collection. And even to this day fresh out of high school animorphs is still my favorite book series. I recomend it to anyone who likes a good sci fi read. Its in a way similar to invasion of the body snatchers. Amazing series! 10/10
