The wildly popular books by K.A. Applegate are back! The Animorphs return in this update of the classic series.

It all started with the dreams. But Cassie didn't pay much attention to them. She and her friends have been having nightmares ever since they acquired the power to morph. But when Cassie discovers that Tobias has been having dreams too -- the exact same dreams -- about the ocean, and a voice that's calling to them for help, she decides it's time to start listening. Now she and the others have to figure out if the dreams are a message, or a trap.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great series - 2011 edition has different covers from originals
Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2015

We really liked this series when it came out many years ago now. Read it to our oldest son (we enjoyed it too) and now his youngest brother is reading it. For some reason we were missing book 4 so I picked this up. Unfortunately, it's a different edition (2011) so the cover style doesn't match all the others we have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read with my daughter
Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2013
Verified Purchase
My daughter loves the series, and it's remarkably entertaining for me to read over her shoulder while listening to her read! She's 7 but a very advanced reader - this series is an easy read for her (although it seems aimed at 9+), but the writing style, fast-paced action, and interesting characters keep the Animorphs series on her "fun reading" list. The Message was the one she picked to do her final class book report project on.

I bought this book for my son when he was 8 years old and he loved it. Now he is a grown man and i bought it for my 9 year old grandson who is behind in reading. He loved the book and it helped him have more of an interest in reading. Seller was honest about the good condition of the book and it arrived ontime.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another great Animorphs tale
Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2018
Verified Purchase
My favorite Animorph tales are the first ten. Much like Goosebumps, they get repetitive and campy after a while. Animorphs is a great series, and this story follows the young bunch along their path while it's still interesting. I'm not the only one that feels this way, my daughter loves these books but could only get through the first 10.

This particular story is centered around dreams that Cassie and Tobias have, and finding meaning in these dreams.

Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2010

I love the series so much and no longer have my collection as I gave them away when I was young. So I am rebuilding my collection one book at a time. These are easy and quick reads and are more compelling than a lot of books written and targeted at adults. If you are tired of the Vampire Twilight dribble and are into YA titles pick one up.
