It's nearly six months since our country was invaded. We've lived in a war zone since January, and now it's July. So short a time, so long a time . . . I'm an expert on fear now. I think I've felt every strong feeling there is: love, hate, jealousy, rage. But fear's the greatest of them all. Nothing reaches inside and grabs you by the guts the way fear does. Nothing else possesses you like that. It's a kind of illness, a fever, that takes you over. Ellie and her friends return from a camping trip to find their country at war. Learning together, they fight back - battling fear, rage, and the invading army that has stolen their land, seized their homes, taken their families, and destroyed their future. Continuing the story begun in Tomorrow When the War Began and The Dead of Night, John Marsden paints a shockingly realistic portrait of teenagers who take great risks to defend what is theirs.

The friend had a ute, and they took that because they thought it would look more rural. Some time during the B & S, Dad, who must have been legless, staggered out of the hall looking for a place to sleep. Of course he.
Taken enough interest – but right now I was too weary from the strain of surviving to enjoy it any longer. I could still admire the beauty of the coastline but I wanted a holiday from it. My eyes swivelled a bit to the right. When I saw what was there I sat up fast and made a little ‘Oh’ noise out loud. I was looking at the wharf, or what was left of it. It was the first time I’d seen the results of one of our attacks so soon after it happened. The only other one I’d seen was the Wirrawee bridge,.
Days, when the whites first arrived, and all they could see was this huge country with no one in it who they cared about. So, after living in pokey little towns or on ten hectare farms in England, they could suddenly spread out and help themselves to thousands of square k’s each. You remember that unit we did in history: selectors and squatters? Well, a couple of centuries later, here’s history repeating itself.’ We were all silent, a depressed, pessimistic silence. It took us a few days to work.
There was more static this time, but we could hear the man quite clearly. ‘OK, I’m receiving you,’ he said. ‘I’ve got someone here who wants to talk to you. Whatever you people did at this Cobbler’s Bay seems to have stirred up some interest. I got the quickest response from the military that I’ve ever had. Stand by now.’ 135 Almost immediately another voice came on. Quiet but crisp and forceful. I have to admit he did put me off a bit by managing to sound like Major Harvey. Maybe anyone with.
That we couldn’t cope with it. I thought we would get our faces smashed in for sure. I stood there almost waiting to be hit, but then I noticed a couple of the soldiers trying not to laugh, too. I guess some things are universal. But an 150 officer, one of a group of officers standing talking on the other side of the road, shouted something, and the soldiers hardened up again. By then we’d got over our initial sniggers and when we saw the soldiers getting serious we controlled ourselves. But I.
