Veritaserum Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 My kids and I are hooked. We just finished The White Mountain. It provided excellent fodder for discussing the nature and value of freedom. We can't wait to read more! We love sci-fi, anyway, but this was really well done. My oldest three were a captive audience for most of the story (ages 8, 7, and 4)--and I was interested, too! :) We're going to back and read the prequel, which I'm glad I already checked out from the library. :tongue_smilie: Here's the chronological order of the books (and Wikipedia entries): 1.1 When the Tripods Came (1988) 1.2 The White Mountains (1967) 1.3 The City of Gold and Lead (1967) 1.4 The Pool of Fire (1968) :thumbup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2BaMom Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I'm always looking for books to read to my 6-1/2 yr-old boy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristenS Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Wow, I wouldn't have thought of them for such a young audience. They can be pretty intense. I first read them in late elementary school and still enjoy them. His other stuff is more depressing. And the prequel is a bit depressing too ... but at least the series ends okay.

Michelle T Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I loved them. I wouldn't think early elementary kids would find them interesting, as they are not very fast paced, at least not the first one. But maybe I'm wrong. I have been planning on having DS read them and glad for the reminder! Michelle T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
