I don’t know how they did it, but these Animorphs books just keep getting crazier. I’m almost sad I skipped a few “skippable” titles, cuz what crazy hijinks am I missing?! Book 23 – The Pretender A Tobias book. Tobias is having weird flashes when he hunts small prey, where he finds himself seeing the POV of said prey. He also learns a cousin is looking for him (since he seemingly disappeared into nowhere after becoming a hawk-4-life). Turns out that person was just Visser-3 […]

Oh no, they (almost) killed David!

The Solution by K. A. Applegate

The Animorphs created a psychopath then abandoned him on an island of rats. Yes, I just finished Animorphs books 20 thru 22, the David Trilogy. See, the Animorphs meet a new kid named David (who, in my headcast, is tween Mark-Paul Gosselaar). This new kid is playing with a familiar blue cube – the very Andalite cube that gave the Animorphs their morphing powers! They attempt a stealth mission at David’s house to get the cube back, fearful the Yeerks will get their hands on […]

And I have volume three waiting!

The Changeling: Volume 2 by Tina N. Lugo

by Leave a Comment

The Changeling: Volume 2 by Tina N. Lugo is obviously the second in The Changeling series. And therefore, I recommend reading the first book first. And if you can find all three of the currently available titles, you should read them together, as while I was reading this manga series, I was hoping that it is only a trilogy. It is not that I did not like it (I would not have read two volumes if it was horrible), it is just that the story, […]

From a Hawk Tuah Boy Again

The Change by K. A. Applegate

by 2 Comments

How many Hawk Tuah jokes do I get to make for this reading challenge? Anyway, Book 13 of the Animorphs is narrated by Tobias, our boy who accidentally stayed in his hawk morph too long, and is now permanently stuck in a hawk’s body. It has its ups and downs, and lately he’s really been missing his human form, and feeling like he is a useless member of the Animorphs because he can’t morph. He meets a pair of Hork-Bajir, dinosaur-like aliens who make up […]

Animorphs #12 Predicts The Substance?!

The Forgotten by K. A. Applegate

The Reaction by K. A. Applegate

by Leave a Comment

OK I’m not gonna bury the lede here: Rachel gives birth to a crocodile through her back. But how did we get there? Animorphs book 11, The Forgotten, would have been a cool little book if it had any point in existing in the first place. Now, I am still only 1/6th of the way through this series, so perhaps its relevance is yet to reveal itself. But plotwise, the Animorphs basically get caught in a time-travel oopsie-daisie when the Yeerks shoot their big laser […]

Dogs are purest good boys, even in Animorphs

Oops, I forgot to review my books! I am still chugging along in The Animorphs series! I fell off of it briefly but am catching back up. I was going to skip some volumes, but it turns out my brain is too COMPLETEST for that, so at this point I’ve read the first ten books, plus the first Megamorphs volume. Megamorphs #1: The Andalite’s Gift: Megamorphs is sort of the “super specials” of the series (shoutout to my BSC babes). Those are an ensemble narrative, […]
