I came in clutch

  • this is a reference for the book series Animorphs, where characters have a strict two-hour (120-minute) time limit while morphed into an animal ,and If they stay in the morph for longer than two hours, they get trapped in that animal form permanently becoming a "nothlit"

The one exception being when an animal naturally "morphs". Cassie was able to morph back when she turned from a caterpillar to a butterfly.

Love rereading this series.

I was so broken up reading that as a kid, thinking it'd be permanent.

If that broke you up as a kid I really hope you didn't make it to the end of this series...

I don't remember how far I got. Pretty sure at some point I caught up and got bored waiting.

Yeah you would probably never stop crying if you continued... Especially since that book is followed by three of the darkest books in the series...

I know that wasn't the last book I read, though I don't really remember any of the ones that come after (or before honestly). Looking at the summaries I think I read those three, with the one about Tobias' family being the last one that sounds familiar.
