The Invisible Man
–Herbert George Wells
Orient Blackswan Easy Readers
Recently, Soorya has started using his school library. First time he bought his favourite Toy Story. We read that in a single day and discussed the story. Second time he got a classic, Beauty and the Beast. We read that too in a single day and also saw the related movies. Now this third time, he got this bigger and intense book, The Invisible Man. I was wondering if the kids would understand the story, or rather, would I be able to properly convey the story to kids. Contrary to my belief, kids were more eager towards science fiction and were much open minded to take in the stories. We read the book for two weeks. We read it aloud; line by line. However, I found it difficult to tell the story to kids line by line. So, after reading the story I had to brief it to the kids in an interesting way. That was real challenge. There were so many questions from kids with regards to science fiction, especially when I had to explain the physics behind optics, transparency, reflection and refraction. All through the story they believed fiction; just that they had to be explained in the language they can understand. I have read H. G. Wells stories long ago but this time was real different experience.
