ANIMORPHS (BOOKS) MASTERPOST (click through picture for download)

Animorphs is a science-fiction book series that were very popular and written in the 90’s. It follows the stories of five humans – Jake, Marco, Cassie, Rachel, and Tobias – and an alien by the name of Aximili-Esgarrouth-Isthill who obtain the ability to morph into any animal they touch. Naming themselves “The Animorphs” (animal-morphers), they find themselves in the middle of a war for humanity against a secret alien infiltration. First person books, with the Animorphs taking turns narrating the story. Horror, war, dehumanization, sanity, morality, innocence, leadership, and growing up are core motifs of the series.

These books are set in the nineties and have a bunch of references to such times that make it hilarious at points when you’re rereading them. Beyond them and the covers’ expert use of photoshop though, you’ll find real horror and war stories from people that are still even trying to just get through school and act like normal kids.
