#Halloween #Stargate
A pumpkin on a doorstep, in the dark. It has been carved for Halloween in the shape of the 'Earth' symbol from 'Stargate' - a bit like 2 lines of the sides of a triangle, with a circle above the tip of the triangle. A sinister orange light is emanating from within the pumpkin.

They might be a bit tame by modern standards, but John Christopher wrote two post-apocalyptic trilogies for Young Adults which I loved as a teenager. The first two Tripods books were made in to a tv series by the BBC.

In addition to ‘The Weirdstone of Brisingamen’ which a couple of people have already mentioned and which I loved reading at school; I’d also recommend two trilogies by John Christopher suitable for Young Adults:

The Tripods and Sword of the Spirits, both had a Puffin issue back in the day.
Three book covers by John Christopher in the Tripods series. The White Mountains, The City of Gold and Lead, The Pool of Fire. Three book covers for a series by John Christopher. The Prince in Waiting, Beyond the Burning Lands and The Sword of the Spirits.

"We thank the #Tripods for Monday."
John in a video call. The virtual background is a giant 'Tripod' - alien machine towering over a circus tent. There are mountains in the background. Scene from The Tripods.
