John Christopher - The White Mountains - It happened so long ago that almost no one can remember what life on earth was like before the Tripods arrived. The Tripods--huge, three-legged machines--seemingly came from nowhere, took over the earth, and enslaved all adult humans. Now, as children begin to enter adulthood, they take part in a Capping Ceremony, a mysterious event during which anyone who is of age is taken away by the Tripods and Capped--meaning that when they return they have a metal plate attached to the top of their skulls.

However, there are a few who attempt to escape this fate and dream of life in the White Mountains--the one place on earth said to be inaccessible to the Tripods.

This is the first book in the Tripods Trilogy, which continues with THE CITY O
