Title: Kids DO still read these!
Post by: LorenF15 on March 14, 2013, 09:40:40 PM: I couldn't contain my excitement when I saw a 10-11 year old boy reading the re-issued version of The Invasion on the subway tonight. I wanted to befriend him and spend hours reading together, but then I realized that could be creepy for a 28 year old to do =(

Amen!

It brought all us together, didn't it?

Yes, that's why we are all here. :)
One big happy Animorph family. :):)

I'm lucky though, I know a huge book store where you can get the books for like 3 dollars and under. :) I'm on book 14 now.

Post by: Snakie on May 11, 2013, 09:11:16 PM: Honestly, I really don't understand why this series didn't gain a more enduring presence in popular culture.

I guess maybe there was something about it that was just inherently "90s", like the X Files. It had a brief peak of popularity but it doesn't even really have any cult following to speak of. Just a handful of nostalgic folks like us. Sigh....

Post by: NothingFromSomething on May 12, 2013, 03:42:32 AM: There are plenty of die-hard fans, it's just a niche. Nowhere on the X-Files scale, that was a big cultural phenomenon. Animorphs was an adolescent book series which a lot of kids liked, which was curbstomped by Harry Potter after that reared its head.

Maybe not fair, but hey, who'd want Animorphs to have become a big Twilight-style thing anyway? It still did very well during its time, second only to Goosebumps among the Scholastic stuff before Potter went nuclear.
