Title: Wonderful books!
Review: I remember the first time I read these, I was about 10. They really got my imagination going as I figured out through the descriptions how these youths started their epic journey in (the former) Great Britain and made their way through (what was) France, Germany, and Switzerland to fight the alien invaders who in the process of taking Earth eliminated technology from humans and stopped communication between them too keeping them docile. Quite the primer for free-thinking and broad-scoped youths!!! I don't think the prequel is important, it fills in too many of the gaps that a bright kid figures out on their own- if anything, save it for last and start with "The White Mountains." I hope these get made into a movie someday, but then again, better for kids to read more and watch less.
