The Time Machine: Illustrated Abridged Children Classic

An inventor builds a machine that carries him past centuries in moments, and finds the future far less comfortable than he had expected. This abridged edition keeps the spine of the story by H. G. Wells while cutting its length and vocabulary to a level younger readers can manage on their own. Illustrations mark the turns in the journey, and the compressed text means a child can reach the ending without losing the thread, which matters a great deal in a first encounter with science fiction. Points readers mention most: • An abridged text shaped for readers still building stamina • Illustrations that anchor the stranger stretches of the journey • The original's questions about progress left in place • A short route into classic science fiction for children Written for readers of around eight and above, and a reasonable classroom choice for teachers introducing the classics.
