TOMORROW, WHEN THE WAR BEGAN: John Marsden: Young Adult: Houghton Mifflin: 286 pagesSeven Australian teenagers return from a camping trip in the bush to discover that their country has been invaded and everyone in their town imprisoned. They decide that surrendering is not an option and head back to the bush to plan what they are going to do- sit out the war until they are rescued or fight back.
This book is an edge of your seat reading. Never knowing who the enemy is invading makes the story timeless and more realistic. YALSA picked it as one of the best 100 books from 1950-2000.

One of my favorite YA series. Some of the events in later books seem pretty improbable for a bunch of teens, but they work for the story. The characters are well done as they are shown to have faults and flaws like a human should, they are not perfect.
