the first one, The Invasion. The library only had a few of the early books, and I like to start at the beginning or I don't understand a lot of stuff.

Book number one.

I believe my mother saw the books and knew I would love them due to my interest in both animals and aliens at the time, so she just went ahead and bought me the first 5 books.  I read them within a few days.

#3. And then to confuse myself completely and utterly, #23. #1 was actually the fourth book I read.

My first book was #6, and that one got me hooked immediately. I didn't read #1 until after reading five or six other books, all from around the beginning of the series, and I think a lot of people whose first Animorphs book was #1 don't realize that Jake, Rachel, Marco, Cassie, and Tobias never go into detail about how Elfangor was killed. They'll start to reach that point in their "story thus far" debrief, but then immediately decide they don't want to think about it.

I'm thinking of making an online graphic novel version of #6...

I didn't even think about that till the other day. I realized I hadn't even "met" Elfangor when I read #23.

Except in the worst way possible-the show. :P At least I knew generally what had happened.

The Android was my first book. But I got a few of them at the exact same time thanks to my grandmother. I immediately fell in love with them, of course. I actually didn't read #1 until very very late in my Animorphs Journey.
Meh.

My first one was The Invasion. I got it from the school library. My favourite character is Tobias. Oh, and I'm new here.

Mine was #4 The Message and kept reading for the animals till about #19 The Departure. I was too busy being confused to notice the magic talking whale.

#1, read it at the library when I was 6 or so.

... I was pretty good at reading pretty early, apparently I hit "college level", whatever that means, in third grade.

I STOPPED reading at #20, for a looooong time. I read a few ones forward of the David arc (at least the one with the cows) and since my library didn't have the full collection, sometimes the order I read them in had more to do with which covers I liked than anything.

The first one was "The Andalite Chronicles."  Ironically I never even knew it was connected to the Animorphs, I saw the animorphs book covers and thought they looked stupid.  But I saw the cover and I was like "purple centaur?  COOL!" and I LOVED it.

Then a friend told me it was the prequel to Animorphs and I was like "OMG yay someone saved Elfangor and then Loren and him can get back together and have more babies!"


Nope.  :(


I was sad after reading book one.   :'(

I think the very first Animorphs book I might have was #15. The Escape, but I didn't really understand it because I was so young. The time I started getting into Animorphs, the first book I read was #8. The Alien, back in 2001, around the September, 11 attacks.

I felt like I had to read through the series in order, so I started with book 1. The first one I bought was book 2, though.
