The Animorphs Series, by Katherine Alice Applegate

I see these all the time at the thrift store and every single time I have to pick them up and flip through the pages… mostly because they have the little “flipbook” thing by the page numbers that show the main character turning into whatever animal they were turning into during that book. So funny.

I don’t remember the main characters, or even really what their goal was.  I have a vague memory that it had to do with time travel, aliens, and other perfectly wonderful things.  There was also this core group of kids who had the power to morph into animals and were BFFs. What else could you ask for?

I’m pretty sure that this series was aimed more at boys, but I had already devoured all the girl stuff so I remember reading these and just loving them. I’m pretty sure that the series hadn’t ended yet when I quit reading them, because I don’t remember any big amazing ending.  Anyway, incredible stuff.  Probably total garbage, but I loved it.

As a side note, my whole life when anyone asks the incredibly clever “icebreaker” question of which animal I’d be if I were an animal, I always think of this series.

Let me entertain you for a second with some amazing covers:

Ahhhh. I love it.
