Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:When Ellie and six of her friends return home from a camping trip deep in the bush, they find things hideously wrong — their families gone, houses empty and abandoned, pets and stock dead. Gradually they begin to comprehend that their country has been invaded and everyone in the town has been taken prisoner. As the horrible reality of the situation becomes evident they have to make a life-and-death decision: to run back into the bush and hide, to give themselves up to be with their families, or to stay and try to fight. This reveting, tautly-drawn novel seems at times to be only a step away from today's headlines. Review:"A gripping tale, told with Marsden's customary incisiveness." Publishers Weekly Review:"A riveting adventure through which Marsden explores the capacity for evil and the necessity of working together to oppose it." Horn Book (Starred Review) Review:"Marsden has crafted a survival story that no reader will be able to put down unfinished." Children's Literature Review:"[A] coming-of-age adventure a story Review:"[T]his suspenseful adventure story has something for everyone..."

Something has gone wrong--horribly wrong. Before long, they realize the country has been invaded, and the entire town has been captured--including their families and all their friends.
