I have not read the first Animorphs graphic novel and I’m not at all familiar with K.A. Applegate’s series but that didn’t matter; this book was really fun. Middle grades will enjoy the tense action, great dialog, and relatable characters. A group of young teens, the Animorphs, are able to change into animal form for a limited amount of time and are using this skill to help save the world from an alien race who are turning community members into their puppets and spies. The characters are complex and engaging and the illustrations are always interesting, especially as the kids turn into or out of animal form.
