Jake, an average suburban kid, is confronted one night by a creature from space who teaches him how to morph into the forms of other creatures. This fantastic, unpredictable, edge-of-your-seat series can best be described as an "X-Files" for kids--plus a whole lot more! Jake, Rachel, Cassie, Tobias, and Marco are the Animorphs--five kids who can change into any animal they touch. The bottom of each page is animated with "flip-book" images, so as kids flip pages, drawings of each character "morph" into animals.

Okay, this was actually pretty entertaining. Kind of a clunky start to a whole series but I get what they were going for.

Definitely an easy read and well in line with other books of its kind such as Goosebumps.

I'm told the series does get better as it goes on. I guess one thing that I wasn't prepared for, despite the promise of body horror and aliens was just how dark some bits were. Even with only a single sentence or two!

I was gonna post more updates but since these are so short it wasn't really worth it. Let's find out what happens in Book 2, shall we?
