Animorphs: The Invasion
Imagine if you could transform into a hawk flying high above the trees, or an elephant stampeding through an exotic jungle. Wouldn't it be cool to trade places with your favorite animal for an hour or two?
Well, that's the special power given to the Animorphs! Jake, Rachel, Marco, Cassie, and Tobias were five average teens before they encountered an injured alien, who gave them the ability to morph into any animal they touch. Now Jake spends time in the body of his dog Homer, while Marco becomes a 400-pound gorilla.
But life isn't all fun and games for the Animorphs. These friends must rely on their new powers to defend Earth against an army of alien invaders called Yeerks, brutal extraterrestrials that take control of the human body. Follow these five heroic teens as they try to save the world from the evil Yeerks in The Invasion, the first installment of the Animorphs series by K.A. Applegate.
If you're looking for a hot summer read with adventure and suspense, or you just have a love of animals, I highly recommend picking up The Invasion, the first book in a series that will be hard to put back down. Read an excerpt now!

the books are pretty cool,and the whole animal transforming thing is wicked,but i don't like those alien invasion type of books.

it would be cool to turn into another animal but i think that it would be bad to turn into a elephant because it would cause humans to want the iron in your tusk.[JUST NAMING THE GOOD AND BAD REASONS]

Wait wait wait. I've read those books! They're an old series, so why is Scholastic acting like they're new?

I mean, why read an excerpt when the whole 40-something book series is in libraries everywhere? Not to mention a couple companion volumes... :P
