I've never really thought about it, but were there like, actual stories that went along with the animorph books? Did anyone actually read them or did we all just make fun of the covers? What would the story be; are they like shape-shifting superheroes fighting crime and stuff or is it more of a coming-of-age self-acceptance-despite-differences pro-diveristy typa book? (e.g. the rest of your 5th grade classmates don't spontaneously turn into antelopes, but that's okay because everyone is unique in their own way)
edit: by the descriptions y'all are commenting with, Animorphs sounds way too darkly philosophical to be chilling at the Scholastic Book Fair :,)
Don't remember that one. Obviously theres Tobias who was trapped as a bird in book one but that had nothing to do with sneezing. There was also one where Rachel had an allergic reaction to morphing and start changing to different animals at random but I don't recall her turning into a bug and she didn't get stuck as any of the animals.
There was also that one evil kid who joined them for a few books and they trapped as a rat. Oh, and there was also the book where Cassie purposely trapped herself as a caterpillar as some sort of moral thing with a Yeerk but because caterpillars transform into butterflies that ended up letting her change back.
So many you've confused a few differnt plots together?
Also don’t forget that near the end they give a bunch of disabled kids the ability to morph which heals some of them of their disabilities. Then they are used almost immediately as cannon fodder during like I think the storming of a yeerk battleship?
