One of my favourite books as a child. It was a joy to revisit this. A fast-paced sci-fi action story that is surprisingly dark given its intended audience. Even this first book grapples with very complex material considering it is basically 100 pages on the theme of “wouldn’t it be cool to turn into a tiger and fight evil aliens”. Never a dull moment.

I was never able to read the whole series as a child due to the unavailability (and price) of the books, so I’m excited to see how this series develops!
