5.0 out of 5 stars Great science fiction for kids, March 18, 2008

I read this book back in elementary school (many times) and it is still fresh in my memory. A classic outer space invasion of earth with the events centered in London and the surrounding area. The characters are fullbodied, the action well paced and plausible. It was a great mix of "War of the Worlds" elements with juvenile "Tell me Professor" moments of speculation. This is one book for kids that needs reprinted.
