    slightly off-topic but i remember being really into these books as a kid and overly fixated on the covers and the idea that people could turn into other creatures. so much so that there were a few people i went to school with that i immediately associated with a creature they’d turn into. alex morphed into a pterodactyl, which i for some reason still remember. sorry alex! or congratulations…?
