 I wanted to pick up this series again to see if it holds up to my reading experience as a child. I really have only read bits and pieces of it and have fond memories of waiting for people to return the next issue of the series back to the library so I can read it.

"Animorphs" follows a group of five teenagers who are suddenly thrust with the responsibility of defending Earth against an alien invasion. In "The Invasion" we essentially learn of the group's origin story told from the perspective of Jake their leader. The action is quick and dives into each of the characters lives are done with the awareness only a middle-grade book can pull off.
