Strong statement
prevnextthrow out your wizard books and buy Animorphs, the series with an afterword where the author goes "oh, are you sad that this war story didn't end happily? good, you should be, no war ends happily because all war is bad"

Slight SPOILER WARNING
prevnextWow people are talking about #Animorphs! That's a series that could use a reboot. I remember watching the show so well. My first time ever seeing Shawn Ashmore! Poor Tobias turned into a hawk and couldn't turn back into a human! pic.twitter.com/dFUq9plyJl

The Chronicles are deep
prevnextI grew up reading @kaaauthor's Animorphs. As great as the series were and a huge part of my childhood; those companion books gave the story so much depth and context. The Andalite Chronicles, the Hork-Bajir Chronicles, The Andalite and Ellimist Chronicles were epic! #animorphs pic.twitter.com/WH3K9ysg1y

Taking a victory lap
prevnextI can't believe this day has come but I can finally brag about the fact that, growing up, I was an #Animorphs kid and not a #HarryPotter kid. If you want some good young adult sci-fi, read Animorphs. pic.twitter.com/3ptmPefxAH

So important
prevnextAs a shy, nerdy elementary/middle school kid, @Animorphs did more for my imagination than the other children’s fantasy novels combined.
I’m grateful to those books for giving me that escape. And as a PoC and an #LGBTQ ally, it’s great to see @kaaauthor supporting both. pic.twitter.com/LLKPkWy5qA
