Tomorrow, When the War Began has been released in Australia. It’s a film based on the first book in the Tomorrow series by Australian author, John Marsden. The first reviews are also in, as you can read at The Sydney Morning Herald. Quotes about the film include “long on action and short on drama” and “a briskly related adventure, with a good-looking young cast.”
Marsden’s teen series features a dystopian future that has Australia being invaded by a military force from an unspecified country. One of the big questions about the film is how race will be dealt with in the invaders since it was handled so vaguely in the books.

I’ve read several of the books in this series and have the rest on hand to conitnue on. I just love it. I hope at some point we’ll be able to see this (probably on DVD) in the States.

I have read all of the books in this series and they are just fantastic. It is not easy to come across these books. I think that it is important to educate our children instead of trying to shield them from life. At some point they will grow up and be faced with challenges. It is our job to educate them so they can make the best decision.
