I finished "Tomorrow When the War Began". I really enjoyed it! For those of you around my age, it reminds me of the 80's movie "Red Dawn" about the US being invaded and a group of teenagers fighting back. This book's setting is Australia, and except for some vocabulary that's native to that nation, it is not distracting at all. The book is written from one of the main character's point of view. This group of teenagers are away camping when some rival nation invades their town and country. Since most of the natives were at their festival ( like a state fair), the enemy captures the town on the fairgrounds. When the main characters return home, their farm animals are dead, no one is left in their homes, and they start encountering the invading soldiers. There are many sequels to this which I look forward to reading this summer because I have too many other new books to read right now!
