action
Jake, his cousin Rachel, Marco, Cassie and Tobias (red-tailed buzzard) are teenagers like everyone else.
But one day they meet a dying alien who calls himself Prince Elfangor. He warns the youth of the invasion of malicious and parasitic aliens, the yirks, who are able to control other living things by entering their brains.
In order to be armed against these beings, he gives them the power of morphing : the ability to transform into any animal that you touch. However, you must never be in animal form for more than two hours, otherwise you cannot transform yourself back into shape. Shortly thereafter, Elfangor is murdered by a vicious alien, Visser Drei (one of the leaders of the Yirks).
Since then, the Animorphs have been fighting the threat posed by the Yirks, but they can no longer trust anyone because anyone could be an alien. The youthful heroes morph into different animals in order to keep the Yirks in check until the good aliens come to earth. They also get another ally: Elfangor's little brother Aximili-Esgarrouth-Isthill, or Ax for short.
