"Tripods were invented by humans early ago.(in the book When the Tripods Came) The Tripods had taken control of peoples minds and capped them at the age of 14. Will Parker had many questions that could not be naswered about the Tripods.Until a vagrant named Ozymandias came.(A vagrant is someone whos' mind didnt work for the caps-either because of freign lang. or just dumb).But he wasnt really a vagrant he told Will abou the White Mountains and how to get there. He had to make a tough decsion. He did. He left home for the White mountains later joined by his annoying cousin Henry and a smart French/English kid Beanpole (Jaun Paul).
The trio goto castles ancient cities and more to get to the white mountains but with the mountains in veiw will they all get there?"

"Will Parker is a miller's son in a typical pre-industrial English village. Typical, except that as each person turns 14, they are taken by the Tripods, massive, three-legged machines, and returned with metal Caps fused to their skulls. From that time on, they are different. Will, due to turn 14, has doubts of his own, and an eccentric traveller confirms that he's right. The only safe place is in the distant mountains, where free men hide, waiting to free mankind."
