The Earth is being invaded, but no one knows about it. When Jake, Rachel, Tobias, Cassie, and Marco stumble upon a downed alien spaceship and its dying pilot, they're given an incredible power - they can transform into any animal they touch. With it, they become Animorphs, the unlikely champions in a secret war for the planet. And the enemies they're fighting could be anyone...even the people closest to them.

I should have read these so long ago. I’m floored at how amazing this book is. When coming into YA I expect a certain amount of hand holding and corniness, but this book pulls no punches. It’s got amazing sci-fi elements and isn’t afraid to explore the very real consequences of war and death. 100% recommend for all ages.

One of my new favorites!

one of my new favorite versions of Animorphs! I seriously hope they finish recording the series.

I'm glad these are coming to audible!

I missed out on this series growing up, but it's great to catch up on them now.

Very good narration and interesting story!

Fantastic nostalgic trip!

I read the animorphs series as a preteen/teenager and largely credit it for my love of reading. This version was wonderfully crafted and Andrews does a phenomenal job bringing life to the characters. His voices are great and it really enriches the text.

If you were a fan of the series in the 90’s or if you never gave it a chance (or never had the opportunity) I suggest giving this audiobook a listen. It is well worth the 3 hours.

Right in the nostalgia

Really excellent narration , book just as good as it was in 1998 or so when I read it for the first time
