how old were the animorphs meant to be?

Yeah, she's going to camp, but within the three week time period that they indicated the Kandrona would arrive, between #7, MM#1, and #8, and #8 DEFINITELY took place on a school day because Ax WENT to school. I always thought Rachel's going to camp was more of a weekend activity, something they even hinted at in MM#1.

Okay, I see the problem. It's been a while since I've read #7 and I forgot it was during the school year. But it still has to be April or May when #1 takes place. I estimate that about two months go by from #1 to #4, and by Marco's comment it is warm through all of those books. So it still can't be September or October. If #1 took place in October, #4 would take place in December, which is winter. And if it took place in September, #4 would be in November, a cold month even in California.

How come two months go by between #1 and #4? Remember, in #2 Rachel said it's been a week since Tobias was trapped in morph. How about we pm each other from this point on? I am working on the timeline and I'd love your help.
