Author: John Marsden
This book is about Ellie and her friends how lives in Australia. They have known each other for a long time and are really good friends.
They decided to go on a camping trip up in the mountains for a week. First they drove a Land Rover by themselves to the mountains but they couldn't drive all the way to the camp site, so they got to walk and climb the last part. The camping site were beside a creek and during the week they were swimming, cooked food together and just had fun.
One night when Ellie woke up she heard something strange. It was an artificial sound that came closer and closer. She looked up in the sky and there came a V-shaped line of jets raced over her head. After six V-shapes of jets the sound disappeared. Ellie didn't thought so much of the jets until it was time to go home from the trip.
On the way back home Ellie had a feeling that something was wrong. And she had right. When they drove in to their home town they saw a city in black. No signes of anything living.
That was a short summary of what has happened in the book so far. I like what I've read and how the book is written. It's exciting and I always want to keep reading to see what's happened next.
Something that I want to read about is how the group will work together in the future. It will be interesting to see if the group will start fighting or if they can stay together as a team all the way through the war.
I don't know what's going to happen next but they have tried to contact their families and listened to the radio but nothing worked. So I've actually no idea what they are going to do next.
Something I've thought about when I've read is the language. The author John Marsden is from Australia and the book takes places in Australia, so the language is a little bit different compared to British English. At the beginning of the book it's an Aussie Glossary of some Australian words. It's very good because sometimes the words are totally different.
