Alternamorphs #2: The Next Passage is the second and final book of the Alternamorphs series, a spinoff of the Animorphs series. It involves a second-person narrative so as to allow the reader to actually take part in the story. It lies outside of the regular Animorphs continuity.

Plot summary

This book loosely follows the plots of Animorphs books #20: The Discovery, Megamorphs #2: In the Time of Dinosaurs and #26: The Attack. The book narrates from your point of view, as a sixth Animorph, and you are able to choose your morphs as the story progresses.

Like all gamebooks, the choices you make cause different endings. One of the splits in the story involves Cassie being killed and Rachel forcing you to promise not to meddle. If you refuse, the others will force you to stay in a fly morph and become a nothlit and you will die but the other split is being in prehistoric time. Unlike other gamebooks, if you make a decision that causes you to die, the 'failure' page will refer you to the page that allows you to choose another action. Notes are written in bold text at the bottom of certain pages.
