Just another Millennial revisiting this series, and...wow! I forgot how good these books were because​ I wasn't a serial reader of them. I pretty much read whichever one was around as one does. The first one I ever read was the 2nd one, The Visitor, probably because ​it had a cat on the cover. But! I can see how starting from the beginning really gets you invested. 

I'm definitely going to burn my extra hoopla borrows by reading this series in order. Quick and episodic. Perfect.

No rating because I don't do that on here.

I don't know what Katherine Applegate was planning with this series. It's aimed at 8 - 12 year old.
I'm 27 and I am traumatised by the body horror and psychological horror in this book. 
I loved it. 

The kids become Animorphs and need to found out about their new parasitic foes.
