The author closes with a substantial note that analyzes the broadcast’ immediate and long-term effects, points out that the announcers repeatedly admitted that they were presenting a drama during the broadcast, mentions several later revivals here and internationally and notes the response of H.G. Wells himself to the original production. She has also set up an invitingly designed Web site with an array of relevant links.”\u003cbr\u003e\n—\u003cbr\u003e\nKirkus Reviews, Starred\u003cbr\u003e\n An ALA–ALSC Notable Children’s BookA School Library Journal\u003cbr\u003e\nBest Book of the YearAn IRA–CBC Children’s ChoiceA Kirkus Reviews\u003cbr\u003e\nEditor’s Choice A 2006 New York Public Library 100 Titles for Reading and Sharing\u003cbr\u003e\n      About the Author      \u003cbr\u003e\nMeghan McCarthy is the author-illustrator of\u003cbr\u003e\nAstronaut Handbook and\u003cbr\u003e\nStrong Man, which received three starred reviews and was selected as a Society of Illustrators best illustrated book.
