When Ellie and six of her friends return home from a camping trip deep in the bush, they find things hideously wrongtheir families gone, houses empty and abandoned, pets and stock dead. Gradually they begin to comprehend that their country has been invaded and everyone in the town has been taken prisoner. As the horrible reality of the situation becomes evident they have to make a life-and-death decision: to run back into the bush and hide, to give themselves up to be with their families, or to stay and try to fight. This reveting, tautly-drawn novel seems at times to be only a step away from today's headlines.

There is an edition which includes the first four books of the Tomorrow Series. I first saw the book in 2006 and after that I've been willing to read the book. Unfortunately, I never bought the book, because I thought it was a bit too expensive for a series I completely didn't know yet. A few weeks ...
"Loyalty, courage, goodness. I wonder if they're human inventions too, or if they just are." This is my third or fourth time re-reading this book. Though, its been many years. And I love it just as much as I did the first time around. Its ultimately a story about courage and friendship. And I adore...
Oh, it's one of those.I thought it was kind of written okay, since it was written in first person by an annoying teenage Aussie girl who apparently can't stop thinking about which boy she wants to duck. Come on, FUCK. But this is not my kind of book, with its obligatory awkward name. Thankfully ther...
I originally read this series when I was in school. Nearly 20 years after it was first published there was a film version, which for the record, a lot of people hated. Except me. I freaking loved it. Maybe because I was living overseas at the time and I was pretty excited about an Aussie action film...
