This book is about a time traveler, whose name is not known. Some say that he is actually H.G. Wells himself. He is a scientist, a smart one, believing many things. As he travels into the future he finds that the human race has split into two completely different races, the light hating, white furred, Eloi eating Morlocks, and the short, peaceful, childlike Eloi. The Eloi use a broken version of the English language, using mostly adjectives. The time traveler becomes a friend to a female Eloi named Weena, who is childlike as the others of her species. It is because of her that the time traveler knows that the Eloi have not been completely separated from the human race, as Weena cries when he asks her about the Morlocks.

At the beginning, this story takes place at the time traveler's mansion, in the 18th century. As he travels into the future, it is about 800,000 years after his time. There is the above world, where he and most of the other Eloi sleep in a large place. The Eloi bathe in a river, the Thames I think. But where are the Morlocks living you may be wondering? Well, if they are not above-ground, then they live in a series of underground caverns and tunnels.

The major problem is that the time traveler is not able to go home, as someone, or something, has hidden it. As he saves Weena from the dangerous (well... to the Elois it is) river, the time traveler goes to the Morlock's cave by using a well as his entrance. He narrowly escapes through a couple of matches. After a week or so after that, he goes to a sort of museum, where he finds artifacts from his time, including dynamite, and some new matches! But when he finds his time machine, Weena has gone missing, and Morlocks have ambushed him. Will he return to home, go to another time set even farther into the future, or be eaten by Morlocks? Will Weena ever be found? You gotta read the book... so ha!

I would recommended this book to upper leveled grades (6th and up), then though this book is less than 150 pages. This was a good book to read, saying I'm a sci-fi novel reader. Any other fans of sci-fi novels should read it too. I hope you liked this, and stay tuned for another review (maybe the new Rick Riordan one...), see you next time!
