When did you read your first ANIMORPHS book?

[Ss112]

I was a relatively latecomer to the series as well. I didn't actually get into the series until I was in high school. I mean, I know that sounds kind of odd, but it was in year 7 or 8, so I was 11/12/13. I knew of the series in primary school, but I never read any, to the best of my knowledge. I think I might've picked one or two of the books up and skimmed over them, but never took much notice. (Looking back, I would definitely have read them then if I felt the way I do about them now.) Then, when I was in year 7 or 8 (I'm really unsure which it was), my sister started buying the books from our local bookstore, as they were clearing them out (this was 2004/5), in one of those book bins, like 5 for $10, then they discounted them, so it was 5 for $5. My sister got some of the books I didn't because by the time I took an interest in the series after reading her copy of #2, (she didn't have #1; I have it now, but I had to buy it through eBay as nowhere had it) when we went to the store, she was just looking for the ones she didn't have, and I was looking to start (and expand) my collection. Then, after I had read all the ones me and my sister bought, I checked out our local libraries, and my school library, and they had a few of the ones I hadn't read yet, so I read those, then bought some off eBay.

My first book was #1 The Invasion. I picked it up from the school library for my English class assignment. I was about 11-12 at the time so I really liked the fact that the characters were around my age. The rest is history

No. 1 my old school had a shelf just for the series

I picked up the first three of them in latter part of 1996 from the Scholastic book fair at my school. They were the only ones that were out at the time, then forgot about them until that summer, when I found that the city library had actually managed to have all 8 of them so that I could read them without skipping around (which I hated). I didn't manage to follow it much further than that, even once they were solidly on a monthly release schedule that was too far apart to hold my interests so I just moved on to devouring other books and finally picked them all up once the series was finished so that I could peruse them without having to wait impatiently for further release dates.

It was right after the fourth book came out, my mom saw the dolphin on the cover and bought it for me because I absolutely loved dolphins. Little did she know that she was going to unleash a whole new level of obsession! I was one of those freaky kids who would read at least one book every day, so that same day I got my mom to take me to the local Barnes & Noble so that I could get the first three. From that point on, I was completely hooked.

Argh... I just finished the series and it ended on a cliffhanger!!!!!!! 

K.A.Applegate did say sorry about that
