“‘Give me liberty or give me death.’
A human named Patrick Henry said that. I wonder if the Yeerks knew before they came to conquer Earth that humans said things like that. I wonder if the Yeerks knew what they were getting into.”
This is it everyone: Animorphs is now officially relaunched! Even though many of us have already gotten the books in advance, this is still an exciting thing to note about. This is the first time in 10 years that the series will finally be available in book stores!
So I want to know: What does everyone think? What do you like? What don’t you like? I posted my review on Goodreads, in case anyone is interested!
Along with this, K.A. Applegate also had her first ever autograph sessions yesterday! Michael Grant (K.A’s husband and co-writer/co-creator of Animorphs) was kind enough to give us some great photo and video updates via Twitter and Facebook:

So for those that made it to this event, let us know how it turned out. If you have any pictures that you would like shared as well, then feel free to comment below! And don’t forget: Spread the word! Animorphs is back!
It was so fantastic to meet her! Also, the new covers look really neat!
I posted a picture and my write-up here: http://splitpurplenalities.blogspot.com/2011/05/meeting-k-applegate.html

I noticed that Scholastic still hasn’t replaced the Marco model. *taps foot*
And STILL no one has told me the names of the first and original models, except for Biko (Cassie), thanks to the Animorphography downloadable desktop thingy.

@Jenni, that is a great write-up. And, of course, I love the picture! 😀
@Jordan: #5 isn’t out until December, so Scholastic has plenty of time to change it. They have more of a priority to focus on the two books being released this month first.
Also, I don’t think we’ll ever know the names of the classic models since they were minors at the time. The only way I see it happening is if they come to us themselves.
