The Twilight Zone: The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street (Twilight Zone (Walker Paperback))
Grade 5-7–The power is out on peaceful Maple Street, and no one knows why. As paranoia and fear rise, the neighbors turn on one another, looking for a culprit. In the end, readers see the street from the viewpoint of invading aliens, who blithely comment on how easy it is to sit back and let the earthlings destroy themselves. The illustrations and layout, while not remarkable, are clear and simple enough to move the story along briskly. A gripping horror tale with a deeper meaning, this is a quick read that should appeal to reluctant readers.–Lisa Goldstein, Brooklyn Public Library, NYEND--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
