The Other Side of Dawn (The Tomorrow Series #7)
At last, the final episode of the gripping Tomorrow series by wildly  popular Aussie author John Marsden has crossed the Pacific, and this concluding  chapter in the lives of Ellie, Fi, Homer, Kevin, and Lee may be the most  exciting one yet. Informed by Colonel Finley that the military is making a move  that could be compared to the D-day attack of WWII, the outback teen guerillas  know that the end of the bewildering war that changed their lives is drawing  near. Armed with plastic explosives and grenades, courtesy of the New Zealand  Army, they have been instructed to "spread chaos and confusion behind their  (enemy) lines in every way, shape and form." For Ellie and company, this means  targeting a hostile refueling station and train tracks. Of course, nothing is  ever easy. There are still the feral kids to worry about and the dismal  discovery that soldiers have infiltrated Hell, their only secured hiding place  in the bush. AsThe Other Side of Dawnrockets at breakneck speed towards  its stunning climax, only one thing is certain: there is no guarantee that any  of them will make it through this last conflict alive.Not a book for new recruits,The Other Side of Dawnwill be most enjoyed  by those hard-core fans who have been with Ellie and the gang from the  beginning. Wirrawee buffs will be rewarded with classic Marsden: teeth-jarring  action sequences interspersed with meaningful moments between friends who may  not see the sunrise again together. This is a satisfying ending to a smashing  good series. (Ages 13 and older)--Jennifer Hubert--This text refers to theHardcoveredition.
