John Christopher's The White Mountains

Episode blurb:"This week on Teen Creeps: We wish Katai a speedy recovery, and Kelly is joined this week by guest co-host Jon Danforth-Appell (writer on Fullscreen’s Party in the Back, Twitter: @GrouchoMarxist) to talk THE WHITE MOUNTAINS (TRIPODS BOOK 1) by John Christopher! They chat self-actualization, vulnerability, and the true bliss of ignorance! IT IS A VERY FUN EPISODE AND NOT SOMBER AT ALL WE PROMISE! But for real guys this gets real real real."

Description
From Goodreads: Long ago, the Tripods--huge, three-legged machines--descended upon Earth and took control. Now people unquestioningly accept the Tripods' power. They have no control over their thoughts or their lives. But for a brief time in each person's life--in childhood--he is not a slave. For Will, his time of freedom is about to end--unless he can escape to the White Mountains, where the possibility of freedom still exists.

Trivia

 * This is the first episode to not be hosted by both Kelly & Katai, as Lindsay was sick.
