Bookroo's summary

In a daring leap through time, a Victorian inventor journeys to a seemingly utopian future. But beneath the surface of this tranquil world lies a disturbing reality. As he delves deeper, unsettling truths emerge, challenging his understanding of progress and humanity. What secrets does this future hold, and can he navigate its hidden dangers? This retelling invites young readers to explore the thrilling and thought-provoking realm of time travel.

From the publisher

H. G. Wells’s sobering, thought-provoking novel is one of the greatest works of science fiction ever created–and as powerful today as when it was written. After inventing a machine that moves through time, the Traveler leaves Victorian London and goes far, far into the future. At first, the world he discovers seems peaceful and prosperous. But as he looks below the surface he realizes that things are not exactly as they first appeared.
