Oh god I think this is from the Animorphs book where they have to fight another human, not their typical alien enemies. They gave David morphing powers, but he turned/was evil, and so Rachel has to trap him as a rat and leave him out onto some abandoned island or some shit. Those books were brutal.

Idr what books it was cus read them in elementary school but I remember there’s a timer on their power where if they stay as an animal too long they get stuck. I remember this cus at one point they make a long trip so they have to shift back every few hours but get stuck half way.

Also some evil character turned into a bird or falcon or something and forcibly turned a couple characters into flys or something and yeah

These were books that are good to be in an elementary school

Oh yeah, it was a mix of body horror, the brutalities of war, the unconscionable weight of leadership, and happy fun time seagull antics.

The time limit was 2 hours or you got stuck. And that happened in the first book to emphasize "kids, this is real."

So these books are the reason I am the way I am?
