The Tomorrow Series & The Ellie Chronicals

[The Aussie Grinch]

These 2 series by John Marsden follow an Australian teenager called Ellie. The Tomorrow Series takes place during an invasion of Australia and The Ellie Chronicals takes place after the invasion has officially ended. The Book titles (listed in reading order) are:

The Tomorrow Series (7 books)

[/b] Tomorrow, When the War Began
2: The Dead of the Night
3: The Third Day, The Frost
4: Darkness, Be My Friend
5: Burning for Revenge
6: The Night is for Hunting
7: The Other Side of Dawn[/ul]

The Ellie Chronicals (3 books)

[/b] While I Live
2: Incurable
3: Circle of Flight[/ul]

Also, while the majority of these books are located in Australia, I noticed a couple of things through several readings of the books that may interest the New Zealand members of the forum. Not only is New Zealand featured in The Tomorrow Series (books 3 and 4) but I haev found out from a reliable source that John Masden had visited a small town near Mt Taranaki and there was a whole chapter (it was the 1st chapter) that was cut from While I Live based in that area. It got cut because it didnt fit in with the rest of the book.

And I'm not sure if everyone can get their hands on Circle of Flight yet because it has only been released in Australia this week.
