RIFK - Ep. 93 - Animorphs Book 3: The Encounter

from Reading Isn't For Kids · host Dispersed Audio

This morning’s episode Anna and Austin review and discuss the 1996 sci-fi children’s chapter book Animorphs: The Encounter by K.A. Applegate which is book three in the series.When Tobias, Jake, Rachel, Marco, and Cassie were given the ability to morph, they were also given one very important warning: Never stay in a morph for more than two hours. It seemed a small price to pay, since the kids know that humans everywhere are being forced to let slimy, spineless creatures creep into their brains. And the only way the kids can fight back is not to be human. But Tobias stayed in his morph too long. And now he's a hawk -- with a boy's mind -- forever. Tobias knows they can't give up. That they all made a promise. So now it's four kids and a hawk against a force that's determined to destroy them. Or die trying...RIFK is a comedy children’s books club podcast where twice a month Anna and Austin read & review children’s books and sometimes comics like they are the works of art they are! Tune in almost every other Saturday to this comedy book club podcast!Support the lovely people who created stuff for the show:Artwork created by UmangihIntro Music created by Gianlu_composesCheck out our Sick Merch: https://dispersed-audio-shop.fourthwall.comCheck out Nort’s Appearance on Below Grade LevelJoin our Patreon to support the show and get ad-free podcast episodes, exclusive voting power on upcoming episodes, full access to our exclusive Patron Discord, and get access to a secret podcast called Ask Anna & Austin where we take Patron questions or read questions off the internet!
