It's a young-adult series by K. A. Applegate (and her stable of ghostwriters). Follows the adventures of five probably-high-school-aged kids and a bit later their alien buddy as they combat the silent invasion of the Yeerks, a race of slug-like, brain-invading, mind-controlling aliens. They can do this because an Andalite warrior, Elfangor, crash-landed in front of them whilst taking a shortcut home from the mall and, as he was dying, gave them the ability to morph with that fabulous piece of Andalite technology known as the Escafil device (or morphing cube).

Zan Holbar is also an Animorphs native, but she's a Hork-Bajir, which is one of the races the Yeerks have already dominated. They're also rather powerful, being seven feet tall and covered in sharp blades, but normally (i.e. not controlled by a Yeerk) they're dumb, peaceful, and only use the blades to harvest the tree bark they eat.
