Parents, read this review!
By A
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 mesmerized 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, regarding a group of kids who may “morph” into animals and use this power to save the world from a mystery alien invasion, will hold kids’ attention and it may be sufficient to get them excessively affected emotionally in regards to reading for life. It’s surely better than playing Nintendo all day! I am 14 and I haven’t read an entire Animorph book, but I’ve read sufficient elements to tell what they’re like. My brother (age 10) and his friends love the series. There is also info with regards to animals–how a hawk flies, what a lizard’s eyesight is like, what it feels like to be that peculiar animal. So your child is learning something as well, in all probability without knowing it! There is stimulating 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, undertake Animorphs. Or if your child is already mesmerized in the series, you have not one thing to worry about. Another good series is Redwall, by Brian Jacques, even though it is more violent. They’re likewise good for a wider age group–I read them too, and even galore adults I recognise get enjoyment from them. PS. Check secondhand bookstores and libraries, as buying all the Animorph books new may get expensive.

Still just as good as I remembered
By Emily Adams
I applied to love this series when I was young. I’m now 21 and a few months ago I decisive to reread them. I wasn’t too sure how much I’d like them since they are “kids books,” but boy, I was hooked. I read all 54, and the 10 or so extras in just a few months. These books are probably my favored books of all time, and I’ve definately read my reasonable portion of books from each age group and genre.

I still do not forget four years ago….
By Callie
I still do not forget when I came across this book four years ago. I was at the Scholastic Book Fair, looking for a book with excitement and adventure. My librarian recomended Animorphs, and I got everthing a person may perchance dream for. There is action and suspense. There are battles and fights. There is shock and emotion. There is the war among good and evil. Then, I was taken far into the air…. I was given the description of what it is like to be an animal. I felt the instinct, the emotion, the fear, the suspense. I was in a dream, a nightmare. The book was full of bright descriptions, powerful emotions, and a sudden intense feeling of adventure. It is everything you ever dreamed of. You’ll love it!
