Animorphs is a science fantasy series of youth books written by Katherine Applegate and her husband Michael Grant,[2] writing together under the name K. A. Applegate,[3] and published by Scholastic.[4] It is told in first person, with all six main characters taking turns narrating the books through their own perspectives. Horror, war, imperialism, dehumanization, sanity, morality, innocence, leadership, freedom, family, and growing up are the core themes of the series.
Published between June 1996 and May 2001, the series consists of 54 books and includes ten companion books, eight of which fit into the series' continuity (the Animorphs Chronicles and Megamorphs books) and two that are gamebooks not fitting into the continuity (the Alternamorphs books).
The books were adapted into a television series of the same name on Nickelodeon, YTV and Global Television Network, which ran from 1998 to 1999. The series has also been adapted to audiobook form as well as a series of graphic novels starting in 2020. A film adaptation was officially announced in 2020.[5]
