Dive into the thrilling world of Animorphs with '#3: The Encounter' by the renowned K.A. Applegate, published in 1996. This paperback edition, identified by ISBN 0590629794, unfolds a gripping tale of transformation and bravery. When Tobias, Jake, Rachel, Marco, and Cassie gain the extraordinary ability to morph, they receive a crucial warning: never exceed a two-hour limit in their morphed state. This seems a minor sacrifice, knowing that humans everywhere are being manipulated by insidious, spineless creatures invading their minds. Their only defense lies in their ability to become something other than human. However, Tobias's fate takes a dramatic turn when he overstays his morph, becoming permanently trapped as a hawk with a human mind. Despite this profound change, Tobias remains steadfast, reminding his friends of their shared commitment. Now, four kids and a hawk stand united against a formidable force determined to crush them, or face their own demise. This is the First Scholastic printing. While the paperback shows some signs of handling, it remains a cherished piece. The front cover features charming creases around the hawk cut-out, and a slightly rough edge graces the back cover. The pages have naturally yellowed with age, adding to its vintage appeal. Flip the book to witness the mesmerizing morphing figure in the bottom corner.
