Great book to read about history! Love that it talks about the war of the worlds. I find this subject really interesting and i think that the readers will too.

Krull takes her readers back in time with this hysterical account of what happened on October 30, 1938. This is a great read for anyone interested in history or even aliens. The book is appropriate for grades three and up.

This is a funny story and outline of what went on the night the martians landed. It would be a good book for students interested in history, and science fiction to read. It has side note inside of facts and details that were happening the night of.
