Review for "Tomorrow, When the War Began" by John Marsden

Ellie and a group of friends come back from a refreshing trip deep in the crevices of the most secluded and rural part of their Australian state - to find that their everyday life has been torn apart by invading troops.

"Tomorrow, When the War Began" is a riveting book that would have been marginally more engrossing had the character development been offered more breathing room. There were, after all, eight kids in the centralized party. The first-person narration is solid and observant and keeps the reader absorbed, so it was well worth the read.
