My name is Raechel.
And all good things must come to an end.

54 books, 2 Alternamorphs, 4 Megamorphs, and 3 stand alones - I only wish there was more. Applegate has been a favorite of mine since I first picked up my first Animorphs book almost 20 years ago. For the first time I've completed the series in full, start to finish, and I have never had a better appreciation for her writing.

My FB groups have been constantly posting about this series, and seeing her newest work getting just as much love as the oldest work has been soul-satisfying. This woman faced the same barriers to the writing world as She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, publishing under her initials and last name for the purpose of appealing to a broader audience, but she never stopped delivering.

I was hooked into this series as soon as I realized I shared a name with one of the main characters, who had relationships to other characters that I also had. And throughout the series, I learned what it was to grow up and into a world that didn't care who I was while maintaining a moral compass that needs adjusting every day. These kids showed what the other side of superhero life is - anonymity, fear, a fierce protection of what you hold dear, and a harsh facing that very little in the world (even a fictional one) is black and white. They showed me what friendship is, how duty can change a person, and how flawed only one perspective can be, while never letting me forget the glorious wonder that are our taste buds.

Let's do this.

"Yes. You were brave. You were strong. You were good. You mattered."

If any book series held the core of my childhood memories, it would be this one. That being said...this children's series has a mostly lighthearted approach to some VERY dark topics. I would recommend this series to anyone with enough patience to read 54 + the 4 megamorphs, Hork Bajir chronicles, Andalite chronicles, and Visser.

If K.A Applegate has 10 fans I am one. If K.A Applegate has 1 fan it is me. If K.A Applegate has 0 fans I am dead.

I’ll write a real review that’s thorough and complex some other time. Or maybe I won’t. Guess you’ll have to wait for the next edition ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I just read the whole series! Finally!! It took me several months but I adored these books as a kid. I fell in love with reading through sci Fi... Enders Game specifically, and found these probably in 4th grade. They were my escape, a dream world, challenged my way of thinking, and a treat when the book fair would come around! However, it always took FOREVER for these books to come out and I never finished the series all the way through!! As an adult, I was looking for books to read to my kids, and stumbled back on this series! (My kids are too young for this yet, but I couldn't help myself... I started reading them again. A forum on Reddit said they were actually good as an adult so I went all in.) I loved the nostalgia... Both for the 90s and reading something that was so special to me as a kid. The books held up too! A fantastic sci Fi read that explores world building, phenomenal character development and tackles kids navigating the ethics of war... Much like Ender's game but so differently. (a bit more juvenile...and less political). I loved these books. I did hate that every SINGLE book recapped what an animorph is and how it all started, but beyond that it was great. Some parts funny, outrageous, creative, thought provoking, but always left me pining for the next book. I won't spoil any endings but KA Applegate did the story justice in my eyes, by ending it as a war should. Not like a fairy tale. I enjoyed the ride!!!

Quite a fun series to read as a teenager and has re-read value. Minor plot holes, but it's a long series.

It’s an interesting concept, but taking 25% of each to explain the premise in every single book is beyond ridiculous.
