THE WAR OF THE WORLDS - H.G. WELLS - by Ned Hartley
PAPERBACK
Author: Ned Hartley
Illustrator: Nick Moffatt
Dramatic, suspenseful, and wonderfully accessible, this adapted edition of THE WAR OF THE WORLDS introduces young readers to one of the most influential science-fiction stories ever written - reimagined for confident new readers.
At the end of the nineteenth century, humanity feels unstoppable. Scientific discoveries are reshaping the world… but far beyond Earth, a far more advanced civilisation has been watching.
When Martians arrive in a terrifying shower of shooting stars, their deadly machines tear through towns and countryside alike. Separated from his wife, one man is forced to flee, embarking on a desperate journey to survive the invasion and find his way home in a world turned upside down.
Originally written by H. G. Wells, this version has been carefully adapted by Ned Hartley and brought vividly to life with striking illustrations by Nick Moffatt. The clear language and visual storytelling make big ideas - fear, survival, and the limits of human power - accessible without losing the drama and tension of the original.
A great stepping stone into classic literature, and perfect for curious readers who enjoy thrilling stories and big ideas, The War of the Worlds proves that classic science fiction can still feel fresh, exciting, and just a little bit chilling.
