When the Tripods Came by John Christopher


Presequel to my favorite book in sixth grade, The White Mountains, this will scare any of you that can't get enough of Sponge Bob or other mind numbing cartoons. Aliens are trying to invade the earth. Of course the world's military blew them up, so they have to try another way. This was written to show the doubters who read The White Mountains (which is set many years after the tripods take over the earth) that what we thought was science fiction could really happen. Lots of action and main characters running across Europe to get to safety, but not everyone makes it. Can be read before or after The White Mountains. The 2 sequels of The White Mountains must be read after it in order.
