Tomorrow, When the War Began

Marsden, John. Tomorrow, When the War Began. New York City: Scholastic Inc., 1993. 276. (Action-Fiction)

When Ellie and her friends go camping, they have no idea that their lives are going to be changed-forever. It starts off okay, despite a not so tragic food shortage and some secret crushes. But when they get back home, something is wrong. The animals are starving and no-one is around. A few days later they find that that their home country of Australia has been invaded. What will they do, fight to save their friends and family, or hide and save themselves??

I thought that this was a great book and anyone who liked the book or movie Red Dawn. The group of teenagers that are playing a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse really did inspire me because it shows what a group of desperate and determined group of people can do in terrible situations.
