WP:BEFORE search did not produce sources that showed significant coverage of this individual work. PROD tag was removed by Espresso Addict, so pinging them. Recommend that this be a redirect to List of Animorphs books. Z1720 (talk) 18:39, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Redirect per nom, it's by a prolific and successful author but there's no claim to notability made (it's primarily a very lengthy plot summary). I can only find a couple of blog reviews, which wouldn't count towards notability. Sionk (talk) 18:50, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. There's a claim of a graphic novel version, which would seem to support individual notability of this title. If no-one can find reviews, not opposed to redirect with the history preserved. Espresso Addict (talk) 11:29, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - According to the entry for this work at the Internet Speculative Fiction Database, there are multiple translations, and a review in Yarf! The Journal of Applied Anthropomorphics #45. Also, the graphic novel version was reported on by Screenrant. Beccaynr (talk) 01:11, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Notifying Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Individual articles in the Animorphs series, which is a broader discussion about deleting specific animorphs books in general. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 04:14, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Redirect to List of Animorphs books - I am not finding any reviews for either the original release of the book nor the much later graphic novel adaptation. While there is some coverage of the graphic novel series, these appear to be on the series as a whole rather than reviews of this book in specific. The original release of the book was well before the time that online reviews were a thing, so there might very well be some physical reviews out there, and if any are found, please ping me. But if none are found, the book does not pass the WP:GNG or WP:NBOOK, and should be redirected to the main book list. Rorshacma (talk) 17:32, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
