A group of Animporphs fans recreated one of the series’ iconic covers for an amazing group Halloween costume. Milkael Milkelson and their friends decided to take on Rachel turning into that bear and the entire Internet approved. K.A. Applegate herself chimed in after being tagged in the post. The author was as amazed as the rest of social media by the attention to detail. Most children of the Scholastic book fair generation will remember Animorphs for the wild covers and that’s about it. But, examining the series as an adult renders a lot of readers amazed at the depth of this saga and the moral implications of children waging a battle for the fate of the universe. Also, of note are the animal instincts described by Applegate. (Anyone remember the book where they turned into flies and the insect mind is just a bit too strong for them? To say nothing of when someone almost gets swatted…) If anything, it’s a good moment to just reflect on a beloved series of children’s novels. Check out the post down below.
