Animorphs Reading Journey

All Animorphs

I’ve loved this series.

Reading Animorphs as a kid and reading it as an adult, I’m surprised how well it holds up. Is it the perfect series? No. But still has some gold especially for those kids as they come of age thinking about bigger concepts of ‘right’ vs ‘wrong’ turning into a muddied gray.
