For Ellie Linton, being back on the farm with her parents is what makes the terrible things that happened during the war -- the things she, Homer, Lee, Fi, and the others had to do -- all worthwhile. It's where she belongs.
But the war won't let her go. A devastating tragedy has shattered any hope she ever had to reclaim her life, or herself. It's a new kind of fight. And the enemy isn't always from the other side of the border.
Another spectacular novel of war and its consequences by bestselling author John Marsden.

3.5 starsI liked this book. It was a nice opening to the trilogy. I like that in this book we get more information of what happened to all of the friends after the end of the last series. What they are up to, where they are living now, what happened to their families. Really good book. Just not sure if I will like The Ellie Chronicles as much as The Tomorrow Series. But so far so good. I am learning about farming from this book though. There is a lot more information about farming and Ellie'sI loved the original 'tomorrow' series and did not even know there was a sequel. Picked this up in the library discard stack - I liked it. The same kind of raw girl against the world idea as the original series, except set post war. Some of the things I like most about this series is the details of raising cattle or crops in Australia. Different world to my urban one. An enjoyable and quick read.
It is four months since the war ended, and for Ellie Linton, life is slowly returning to some form of normalcy. She is living on her family farm with her parents and helping to pick up the pieces of their life. She is back in school, and is slowly reclaiming who she was before the war. And then, in the blink of an eye, devestating tragedy strikes. Now, Ellie must pick up the pieces all over again and struggle to hold on to everything that she's managed to build. And this time, some of her
Ellie and her family are trying to recover from a Marsden-invented war that ravaged Australia and New Zealand, resulting in an uneasy peace and half of Australia in the hands of foreign invaders. Ellie's family lives on a ranch near the recently constructed border. She was an active member of the Australian resistance force during the war and is looking forward to life returning to some semblance of normalcy. That lasts all of maybe 2 pages. The book opens with a renegade band of invaders
John Marsden does this series so well; I read it when I was a kid, but now I think i enjoy it even more. I love listening to it on talking book as well, just so easy and fun, bring on the next installment please. :)
After having read the 'Tommorow When The War' began series my hopes were high for this book. A sort of follow on series, the book focuses more on the life issues of Ellie Linton and less action with less things blowing up which can be good or bad depending on your point of veiw.A series a lot of people loved because of its unique plot and storyline, the Tommorow When The War Began series was a hit. This follow on series is surprisingly different than the original series. I had hoped for another
I am a massive fan of the Tomorrow When The War Began series. The series will always be held dear to my heart. Originally, I decided not to read the Ellie Chronicles for fear of them not being up to par with series. This all changed however, when I caught sight of the Ellie Chronicles in a second hand bookshop, that were all three hardcovers for just $9! I figured I would give them a shot, plus I might really love them and I haven't found a series I just adored for a great measure of time. I did
