Where to start with Animorphs

Start at book one, The Invasion. Publication order works for almost the whole series, and the only two real decisions you have to make are where to put two of the companion books.

  1. 1
    Books 1 to 7 Animorphs, books 1 to 54

    The narrator rotates one book at a time across the five kids and back again, which completes the setup arc and gives you a natural point to decide whether you like this.

  2. 2
    The Andalite Chronicles The Andalite Chronicles

    Chronologically a prequel that ends immediately before book one, but reading it first spoils a significant main series reveal. The common recommendation is to read it at its publication slot, after book 13.

  3. 3
    The Ellimist Chronicles, right before book 54 The Ellimist Chronicles

    It was published around book 48, but its framing narration sits late in the story, so most readers put it immediately before the finale.

Then what? The four Megamorphs and The Hork-Bajir Chronicles and Visser sit at the same point in both publication and story order, so no decision is needed for those. The two Alternamorphs gamebooks are outside the continuity and can be read anywhere or skipped. The television series is a separate track rather than an alternative to reading: character details and morphs were changed, partly for budget reasons.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below — tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. To carry it to another device, move the code below.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in — good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that — scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Restoring replaces the progress currently saved on this device for the franchise the code belongs to.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
