Parents, read this review!

Series have a bad reputation for being junky books with formula plots, but Animorphs is probably the best series for your child (both girls and boys) to be interested in. (Avoid Goosebumps like the plague!) Series are good for reluctant readers because there's always another book to read next, and kids want to keep reading. This series, about a group of kids who can "morph" into animals and use this power to save the world from a secret alien invasion, will hold kids' attention and it may be enough to get them excited about reading for life. It's certainly better than playing Nintendo all day! I am 14 and I haven't read an entire Animorph book, but I've read enough parts to tell what they're like. My brother (age 10) and his friends love the series. There is also information about animals--how a hawk flies, what a lizard's eyesight is like, what it feels like to be that particular animal. So your child is learning something as well, probably without knowing it! There is exciting action and adventures too, but it's not excessively violent. There's lots of humor in it too. So, if your child is a reluctant reader, try Animorphs. Or if your child is already interested in the series, you have nothing to worry about. Another good series is Redwall, by Brian Jacques, though it is more violent. They're also good for a wider age group--I read them too, and even some adults I know enjoy them. PS. Check secondhand bookstores and libraries, as buying all the Animorph books new may get expensive.

The Best!

This book is soooo cool! It is neat to know what really happened in the beginning. In it Jake, Rachel,Cassie,Tobias and Marco get the power to morph into any animal the touch.(A dying alien an andelite, Elfangor, gives it to them.) He tells that the human race is under attack by another alien spieces the yeerks.He also tells them NEVER stay in a morph for more than two hours. Or else you will be a nothlit stuck in a morph forever. Visser Three (the only yeerk-andelite) comes in a morphs from another planet and eats up Elfangor. Then they all try out the morphing. (Except Marco.) Tobias is the first to do it. He morphs his cat, Dude. Jake morphs his dog, Homer. Cassie morphs a horse and I forgot what Rachel morphs. Jake also aquirres a lizard and Tobias a hawk. Then they go to The Gardens and aquirre more animals.(The Gardens is like an amusement park and a zoo.)Rachel aquirres an elephant, Jake a tiger and Marco a gorilla. They find out that there is a yeerk pool under their school. They go down one night and try to free people but Visser Three chases in another alien morph. them and the yeerks almost got Cassie. They escape but Tobias stays in his morph to long. He gets trapped in the body of a red tailed hawk. That Tobias got stuck and when Elfangor got eaten were the only real sad parts. If I were you I would defenitly buy this book.

P.S. Read this book first otherwise you may be confused about what happens in the future books. It happened to me.

This is the best book I've ever read (so far).

This book is the 1st book in the series. It is when Tobias, Marco, Jake, Rachel, and Cassie get their morphing powers, and find out Tom(Jake's brother) and Assistant Principal Chapman are a Controller. Awesome story! Brandon(can't tell you my last name, they're out there).


The Original baby!

Two words: Oh yeah! This is the original, this started it all. probably the best yet, this sets the scene for all the others!

5 morphing kids out of 5!
