The wildly popular, bestselling sci-fi series by Katherine Applegate and Michael Grant returns in a new full-color graphic novel series, adapted by Chris Grine. Sometimes weird things happen to people. Ask Jake. He could tell you about the night he and his friends saw a strange light in the sky that seemed to be heading right for them. That was the night five normal kids learned that humanity is under a silent attack -- and were given the power to fight back. Now Jake, Rachel, Cassie, Tobias, and Marco can transform into some of the most dangerous creatures on Earth. And they must use that power to outsmart an evil greater than anything the world has ever seen. . . .

What a nostalgic ride!
This addaption seemed to be an excellent reimagination of the originals, with my two eldest kids (11 and 9) and I all thoroughly enjoying it.
Obviously I love the original Animorphs series and I really do hope the graphic novel adaptations brings it to a new audience. I think the Animorphs concept is just so cool and I think this book captures that and the tension of the plot pretty well. I didn't love the art? I felt like the human faces were...bad? I also kind of missed the internal narration of the non-GN books. But again, the originals are very dear to my heart. But I think for a younger audience who might encounter the story for the first time in this format, there's a lot to like.
