War of the Worlds – Campfire releases a sci-fi classic from one of its Fathers. At the dawn of the twentieth century, Earth makes contact with an alien race as capsules fired from the surface of Mars crash into the southern English countryside. But it seems the Martians haven’t come in peace. Using their annihilative weapons, they seem intent on invading the Earth. Trying to make his way home, one man struggles to survive and find his family. With drama, action, and aliens disintegrating people, there something for any kid to enjoy. And with so many adaptations that take liberties with the story, reading the original will be surprise and delight to kids.
