School's out for the animorphs. But that does not mean that the evil yeerks are going to stop controlling people's minds or chasing the kids (or andalites) with the abilities to change into any animal they touch. But Rachel has gone to a gymnastics camp she signed up for before getting into the whole mess. She decides to fly a little before going away. She is attacked by sparrows or something and crashes into a tree. When she wakes up she has lost her memory and guesses she is some freak of nature. The other animorphs have a little problem of their own. Each time they morph a dangerous Yeerk creature comes to capture them. What good is morphing if you can't do it without a monster sensing it? And will Rachel regain her memory? I like this book because it's a unique blend of many first-person narratives.

This book was full of action, emotion, adventure, and curiosity for the reader. Like when Rachel loses here memory, or when the Animorphs decide what to do about the Veelik. And is seems impossible to destroy the Veelik.This is a great book. Animorph fans, This is a MUST!

This book is probably the BEST Animorphs ever. I'm an Animorphs MANIAC and love them to death!!!! This book is great. Rachel gets mobbed while taking a "fly" around the block. She slams into a tree and falls to the ground. She wakes up and her total memory is gone. Visser Three gets a dust beast that can track morphing energy. Ax tries to save Rachel when they find her in the forest. She had morphed her grizzley bear and was almost dead. Thats why Ax tried to save her. He succseded but gets caught by the beast who takes him to Visser Three's Blade ship. Will the Animorphs ever morph agian??? Will they save Ax??? Will Rachel ever remember agian??? Find out in this exciting, action-packed book!!

Young science fiction lovers will run to the bookshelves to get a copy of Animorphs: the Andalite's Gift by K.A. Applegate. The setting you will encounter in this book is mostly the forest. Every book has exiting characters but not as exiting as the characters in this book. They are Jake, Cassie, Rachel, Tobias, Ax, Marco, and Visser Three. There is major conflict in this book. It is between the Animorphs and Visser Three's Yeerks, which are slugs that can control your brain.
This book is a MUST READ book because when I read it I was addicted to it. It is extremely interesting. The book puts pictures in your head. It also makes you think it's real. If you watched the TV show and still didn't understand it the book will help. If you still don't know if you're going to read it you should read the back and take my word for it!
The author of this book seems very creative. The author is female and writes kids' books. One interesting fact is that you don't know if one book leads to another one. You should really check out this book and check out some other Animorphs books.

Megamorphs are always fun to read. Visser Three tries to capture the "Andalite Bandits"(Animorphs)by using a creature from Saturn that gets attracted to morphing power. This disastrous thing causes the seperation of the Animorphs in different places. They try to get back together, but Rachel loses her memory and Ax gets captured. The other Animorphs don't know where these two are. The final show down with the monster is exciting. Marco's jokes are all very funny in this book. It is definitely a must read!!!!

As always, I'm here with another viewpoint if someone like parents, teachers, etc. might be curious about an adult's point of view on the series. Megamorphs is the first of the series which steers away from the threads of something a little deeper which have been in all the other books to date (growing up, friendship, family, etc.) However, I still give this book the highest possible rating for other reasons. It's the longest one of the series up to this point, and Applegate kept her story together with a smooth, exciting flow which keeps the reader guessing. I was in my early twenties, and have read everything from Tolstoy and Dickens to Peanuts and Garfield. I figured it out, eventually, on the first read, but I wasn't all that far ahead of Ax when it was revealed by the plot itself. Rachel has to deal with a memory loss, Cassie with thinking she's a coward, Jake with keeping them together, and all of them with this dust beast which seems intent on destroying or capturing them. Marco's wit, as always gives a great laugh. The plot is creative, well thought out, and not too far out in left field (even for its target age group) for a sci-fi book to make it totally unbelievable. All in all, this is a very good read for a high action, mysterious, entertaining, and cohesive story for the target age. It can certainly be enjoyable for ages many years beyond 12, as well.

The Animorphs may be the only thing that can stop the Yeerks, slug-like aliens bent on taking over the world. Jake, Rachel, Cassie, Marco, and Tobias (well, actually, Tobias is stuck as a hawk) can turn into animals but they are still kids. Kids with obligations even in the summer. Rachel, for example, has to go to a gymnastics camp. But when she decides to take a little flight before the trip as an eagle, she is attacked by jays. As a result, she loses her memory. Meanwhile, every time the other Animorphs morph, an alien creature sent by the Yeerks appears to wreak havoc. Will Rachel remember her old fiends? Will the Animorphs ever be able to morph without the creature? "The Andalie's Gift" is the first exciting Megamorph which shows each Animorph's point of view.

Animorphs by K.A. Applegate is a fast paced kind of book that has action and lots of close calls. They can only morph into the animal in their head. In this book they morph into a tiger, a fly, a wolf, and a bear. Also in this book,they have to save the world from a tornado kind of monster. I recommend this book to anybody who likes animals,morphing,or action. It is a really great book.

When I first saw pictures of the Animorph books , I thought," Oh, Man.That is one sick series. No one will ever catch ME reading one of those,". And now look at me; The craziest, wackiest, most addicted, Animorph fan EVER! Megamorphs #1 is one of the best Animorph books I've ever read! It's a real challenging book, not only for the Animorphs, but for the readers as well. You've got to admit, it takes a lot of brainwork to keep up with the plot. Mrs. Applegate, if you ever see this, I will die slowly of Kadrona starvation if you ever stop writing this series. You are the best author I ever think I will know of. My sisters are addicted to the Animorphs, too. My sister, Shannon read the Andalite Chronicles, and when she finished it, I asked her how she liked it. Her answer was:"I am going to kill Visser Three." I REALLY suggest this book for you people out there.And I have to agree with my sister. I am going to kill Visser Three.

p.s. Any of you anifans out there?

There were a few mistakes but, other than that, I think it was okay
