Jake, an average suburban kid, is confronted one night by a creature from space who teaches him how to morph into the forms of other creatures. This fantastic, unpredictable, edge-of-your-seat series can best be described as an "X-Files" for kids--plus a whole lot more! Jake, Rachel, Cassie, Tobias, and Marco are the Animorphs--five kids who can change into any animal they touch. The bottom of each page is animated with "flip-book" images, so as kids flip pages, drawings of each character "morph" into animals.

Oh it's a kid's book for sure

I found an archive of all the Animorphs books and, for some reason, thought that reading through them for the first time in well over 20 years was a brilliant idea.

There's interesting bits here with how morphing works and stuff, but I definitely wouldn't recommend this nowadays. It's surprisingly brutal for a children's book (as all the good ones are) but it is still a children's book, and the simple language and plot really holds it back from being a really good read.
