Summary (from Goodreads):
When a turn-of-the-century scientist travels into the distant future in his time machine, he expects to find progress and superior people. But instead he discovers a world in decay.
My Review:
I found this to be a solid introduction to The Time Machine. The reading level is appropriate for 4-5th graders, and it is a good entrance into science fiction without forcing the reader to slog through complex Victorian language. I've never actually read the original, but I will have a much easier time chewing through it now that I know the basic plot. I usually gain schema for older novels from watching film adaptations, but this version of The Time Machine will suffice for giving me just enough background information to navigate the original text.
