Easily the best one so far - the stakes and consequences for poor decisions actually felt real, and the worldbuilding stepped up a notch compared to previous books.

A favourite series from my childhood. This one was especially interesting because it took the Animorphs underwater in dolphin morph. Their face off against Visser 3 and interactions with the whales were particularly memorable moments.

1) I wish I could turn into a dolphin
2) I forgot how violent these books could be for a kids series
3) My adult imagination conjures up the Taxxons to be way more grotesque than when I was a kid. Absolute nightmare fuel.
4) Andalites are adorable.
5) Did I say I wanted to turn into a dolphin?
I don't care if this is easy reading pulp designed for those aged 10 and up (although I think I read these aged 8). It is engaging, nostalgic pulp that relaxes my brain after studying for my AML diploma. It also needs a new TV series or film quite badly, please and thank you.

Waited too long to write about this one.
Changes the status quo in a meaningful way by introducing Ax, a new alien member of our Animorph squad.
The series is usually careful to not romanticize or anthropomorphize the real animals with which the characters interact. But whales prove the exception.
This is our first water based adventure; our heroes run into dolphins, fighting sharks and saving whales.
This series had a short-lived TV adaptation in the 90s. I HAVE to see a few episodes.

Another fun animorphs book. I keep forgetting how fun these are! I loved them as a teenager. They hold up pretty well.
