Description

When a group of Australian teenagers return from a camping trip in the remote bush, they discover their country has been invaded and their families have vanished. Faced with the shocking reality that their entire town has been taken prisoner, the young friends must confront an impossible choice: hide and survive, surrender to be reunited with their loved ones, or take up arms against an overwhelming enemy. This gripping coming-of-age thriller explores themes of courage, loyalty, and the moral complexities of resistance as ordinary teenagers are thrust into extraordinary circumstances. John Marsden's debut novel captures the tension and uncertainty of war through the eyes of those least prepared to fight it, creating a powerful meditation on what it means to stand up for your country and your convictions.
