Product Details

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Australian friends return from a camping trip in the outback to discover that enemy forces have invaded the country and imprisoned everyone in town. A gripping tale, told with Marsden's customary incisiveness. Ages 12-up.
Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.


From School Library Journal

Grade 9-12–John Marsden's Australian setting for a seven book series becomes a vivid backdrop for the first title available in audio format (Houghton, 1995). Read by Suzi Dougherty with teen-friendly voicing, the story moves from tense and gripping to philosophical by turns. Ellie, the narrator and resident of the rural ranching district surrounding Wirrawee, tells the story. She and her seven friends return from a camping trip to find their families captive, their homes destroyed or deserted, and their country invaded. Warned in a faxed message to "go bush," they set up a base camp in Hell, a nearly inaccessible valley they have penetrated. Slightly reminiscent of Z for Zachariah by Robert C. O'Brien (Macmillan, 1987), which is mentioned in the story, Ellie is presented here as an inventive and admirable heroine. Conducting covert raids for information, supplies, and rescue missions, the friends ultimately progress to an actual guerilla attack on a key bridge along the enemy supply line. All the while, the friends muse on larger questions—the good and evil in people, their own loyalties, and potential romance as they draw together in the face of their experiences. The discussion of sexual feelings, while not at all graphic, makes this more suitable for high school age listeners. Dougherty's narration is light-hearted, pensive, or fast-paced depending on the mood. Her Australian accent offers a convincing touch that adds to the flavor of the story. Everything does not come out happily ever after in this compelling and thought-provoking novel, and listeners will be eager to read or listen to the other titles in the saga.–Jane P. Fenn, Corning-Painted Post West High School, NY

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome!!!, Mar 28 2005
By Megz (Over the Rainbow) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tomorrow, When the War Began (Hardcover)
This is an amazing story, I found it at the library and picked it up, thinking it was not going to be very good. I was setting it back on the shelf and the librarian laughed and told me it was one of her favorites. She encouraged me to read it and i did. I must say that i have never been happier that someone convinced me into something in my life. These books are my favorite now and i recently bought the whole series. I love the fact that i can relate to Ellie so easily (her and Corrie sound just like me and my best friend) These are my favorite they leave me thinking about little things that mean so much. Ex. We kill caterpillars and complain there are no butterflies. That is so true and i love it. Anyway i encourage everyone to buy this book it's a work of art and is wonderful for us teens to beable to say to our parents, "See i told ya'll we were good for something" lol. Seriously it's a great book in fact the whole series is and i encourage for everyone to read not just teens.
Thx
Megz

5.0 out of 5 stars Great survival story, Nov 11 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Tomorrow, When the War Began (Hardcover)
Tomorrow, When the War Began is a very interesting book. John Marsden wrote it in 1995. Ellie a teenager from Australia is bored to death over the summer. She decides to get some friends and take a camping trip in the outback brush. Upon returning home, something is terribly wrong. The dialog is great, the way he has the characters talking in true Australian language. Another part I like is how John has Ellie have internal passion for two different boys on the trip.
If you enjoy an entertaining with some suspense, and survival, you should read Tomorrow, When the War Began. I really enjoyed this book, and would of never guessed the ending. I think you will enjoy it also.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Piece Of Australian Literature., Nov 8 2002
By Zach (NSW, Australia.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tomorrow, When the War Began (Hardcover)
This series, (Seven books in total), is the best series I have ever read.
The story remains interesting, with enough action to keep young adults interested.
The threat of war is always an interesting topic to read about, especially when a group of teenagers are thrown into the mix and work together as a team -- this series is, at times, very inspiring, and the attention paid to character detail is very much appreciated and gives the series great credibility.

P.S. These reviews are for opinions, not for summarised versions of the novel/s themselves.
That last review from Jessica made this book sound bad, since she doesn't have a firm grasp of the English language, and therefore cannot construct a favourable review.
