When the Sleeper Wakes is by H.G. Wells. A strange science fiction tale with almost a Rip Van Winkle tinge to it. A man goes into a trance in the 1800s and awakes over 200 years later to discover he owns almost half the world. He must now discover the changes two centuries have wrought on society and what his place should be in this new world, and how to use the power and wealth he has evidently amassed while sleeping.
Ratings: 9th grade - 7 out of 10 - AC (mature thematic content).
