Chris Mould's War of the Worlds

A stunning full-colour illustrated adaptation of H. G. Wells' sci-fi classic, from the illustrator of A Boy Called Christmas and The Iron Man. 1894. Across space, this earth is being watched by envious eyes. What seems to be a meteorite falls to earth, but from the debris unfolds a terrifying alien threat . . . Leon and and his scientist wife race against the clock to end the war of all worlds. This is a modernised graphic novel retelling of one of the most popular science fiction novels ever written, now suitable for a younger 11+ readership. 'Exquisite, detailed illustrations . . . convey as much emotion as do words in this remarkable re-imagining of War of the Worlds.' Susan Price, Carnegie winning author of Ghost Drum 'An absolute masterpiece.' Kieran Larwood, author of The World of Podkin One-Ear series.

Reviews

Chris Mould has illustrated the gamut from picture books and young fiction, to theatre posters and satirical cartoons. As well as writing his own fiction and illustrating Ted Hughes' The Iron Man to much critical success, he has teamed up with author Matt Haig for the bestselling A Boy Called Christmas, A Girl Who Saved Christmas, Father Christmas and Me and The Truth Pixie. He lives in Yorkshire with his wife, has two grown-up daughters, and when he's not drawing and writing, you'll find him . . . actually, he's never not drawing or writing. H. G. Wells (1866-1946) was an English novelist, journalist, sociologist and historian best known for his classic science fiction novels The Time Machine and The War of the Worlds and his comic novels Tono-Bungay and The History of Mr. Polly.
