Tomorrow, When the War Began by John Marsden

They end up going to Hell, an untouched piece of nature with a scary history. A group of seven teenagers decides to go camping during the Christmas holiday. Tomorrow, When the War Began, is situated in the fictional town Wirrawee in Australia. It just helps spice the story up a little. By that I mean that the book can, at times, bordering to adult literature. Now, this isn’t a book I’d give to a kid and tell him or her to read. It has been reprinted a total of 16 times, and the first book in the series is not only considered one of the best book for teens ever written, but the best book for teens written in Australia ever. It has a total of seven books, the last one in 1999.

The Tomorrow Series was started in 1994, with “Tomorrow, When the War Began”.

The school is named Candlebark, and was opened on the 31st of January 2006, with a total of 56 students ranging from 5 to 13 years. Marsden later said that the one-night-stay at the prison gave him some inspiration when he was writing “Letters from the Inside” and parts of “The Tomorrow” series.Īt the moment, Marsden is working on an alternative school on his estate in Romsey, Victoria. As all the prisons were full, Marsden was sent to a high-security prison for a night. In 1982, Marsden was arrested for protesting against the building of the Franklin Dam. He taught as an English teacher for nine years at the Geelong Grammar School, before he became Head of English at the same school.
