"Beings known as the Tripods have conquered Earth and turned the human race
into slaves by implanting everyone over the age of 14 with a mind-control
device. 13-year-old Will Parker and his friends, however, plot to defeat the
Tripods before they are fitted with the instruments"

....13 and 14 year olds? I fear this will be a godawful kiddie-friendly
"adventure" in the Harry Potter mould, or at least for that kind of
audience.
