The Tripods series by John Christopher. I read it in my 30s and it blew me away.
Still, my kids are around the same age as yours and haven't read those books despite my recommendations. :-) But they have also found some really great reading material by themselves through the school and library. Books and graphic novels that I wish were around when I was younger.
- thorin 4y agoThere was a TV series on the BBC when I was around 10 which I don't think they ever finished, but it was fantastic. I read the books around the same time.
- Dracophoenix 4y agoI read the trilogy at 12 (sadly, I haven't read the prequel 4th book) and they were pretty enrapturing. The paperback covers are also beautifully illustrated. The biggest influence on the work is obviously War of the Worlds, but style of the books is reminiscent of pulp adventure comics from 1920s.
- prosaic-hacker 4y agoSeconded. (or maybe that should be Thirded) Read the whole series in the early 70's when I was in high school. (Thank you High School libraries).
- tmaly 4y agoI will check it out. The last 70s series I read was RingWorld
