More About This Book

Overview

War rages on! The second installment of the internationally bestselling Tomorrow series is even more action-packed than the first...

A few months after the first fighter jets landed in their own backyard, Ellie and her five terrified but defiant friends struggle to survive amid a baffling conflict. Their families are unreachable; the mountains are now their home.
When two of them fall behind enemy lines, Ellie knows what must happen next: a rescue mission. Homer, the strongest and most unpredictable among them, is the one to take charge. While others have their doubts about his abilities, Homer has no choice but to prove them wrong - or risk losing everything to the enemy.

Six determined Australian teenagers try to find their missing friends while continuing to resist the enemies who have invaded their country.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
In this sequel to Tomorrow, When the War Began, the teenagers continue their guerrilla warfare against the invading foreign army. PW said, "Though it's still a superior adventure tale, it lacks the provocative edge and hard-hitting moral challenges of the author's best work." Ages 12-up. (May) r Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information.
Publishers Weekly
This action-filled sequel to the Australian import Tomorrow, When the War Began picks up just where its predecessor left off-and the reader will need to do likewise; for the uninitiated, the background may unfold too slowly. In conversational tones larded with Aussie slang (a glossary is included), Ellie, the narrator of Tomorrow, recounts the further adventures of her group of friends, who previously returned from a camping trip in the bush to discover that an unnamed foreign army had invaded the country, imprisoning all of the locals and laying sinister plans for the future. Ellie and friends here persevere in their attempts at guerrilla warfare against the occupying forces. Romantic relationships continue to develop, and perils of many kinds persist. In a subplot that promises to fuel still another book, the teens briefly hook up with a group of adults who have also managed to elude the enemy, but the adults' leader turns out to be as villainous as the invaders. While Marsden's writing is as taut as ever, the excitement of the original premise wears off in this installment, replaced by a less satisfying emphasis on the teens' maneuvers. Though it's still a superior adventure tale, it lacks the provocative edge and hard-hitting moral challenges of the author's very best work. Ages 12-up. (Sept.)

Publishers Weekly
Scholastic will reissue the first two volumes in John Marsden's the Tomorrow series-Tomorrow, When the War Began and The Dead of Night-this month, and will feature them in its on-line summer-reading campaign (see Children's Bookshelf, June 8). One additional title will appear every other month. PW called the story of some Australian friends who return from a camping trip to discover that enemy forces have invaded the country and imprisoned everyone in town "a gripping tale." Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
VOYA
At the end of Tomorrow When the War Began (Houghton, 1995/VOYA August 1995), Ellie and her friends were hiding in the bush trying to survive after Australia had been invaded. This latest story begins soon after the end of the first novel. Ellie is still our narrator, and she takes us through the group's physical hardships, survival techniques, and interpersonal relationships. This time they encounter a group of inept and possibly sinister militia-type guerrillas. The teenagers continue to try to keep safe, survive, fight back, and learn the status of their families, friends and neighbors. Regular teenage concerns remain a part of their lives, despite their extraordinary circumstances. Particularly well done is the growing intimacy between Ellie and Lee, as their relationship becomes sexual. Also fascinating is the group's introspection on their strengths and weaknesses-they realize they have strengths of which they had not been aware-as well as their moral concerns over killing enemy soldiers. Tomorrow ended with the group still in the bush, with no end in sight. Except for the loss of a couple of their friends, the group is pretty much in the same circumstances at the end of this novel. If you hope for a plot with any closure, you will not find it here. What you will find is a strong adventure story, a little romance, and an excellent psychological study. VOYA Codes: 4Q 4P J S (Better than most, marred only by occasional lapses, Broad general YA appeal, Junior High-defined as grades 7 to 9 and Senior High-defined as grades 10 to 12).
KLIATT
First published in Australia, this suspenseful series was reviewed extensively in KLIATT when released in the US in hardcover editions and also as audiobooks. Now, the volumes are available as trade paperbacks, and this is the chance for all YA libraries to get copies. The basic plot of the series is that a group of high school friends in Australia are away on a camping trip when their country is attacked and terrorized by an unnamed enemy. They become an insurgency group, doing whatever they can do to make things difficult for the occupying forces. Their parents and families have been placed in concentration camps, demoralized. The teenagers, making use of their intimate knowledge of their own hometown, stage raids and then retreat to the outback to regroup. The narrator is Ellie, who is filled with rage sometimes and remorse at other times. She is a realist, knowing that they have to do what they are doing if they expect to get their homeland back. All kinds of moral issues are raised. Also compelling are their feelings about each another. This represents the best of YA literature—exciting, honest, gripping. (Look for the final two books in the series to be released shortly—there are seven in all.)
School Library Journal
Gr 6-10--Marsden picks up right where Tomorrow, When the War Began (Houghton, 1995) left off. A few months have passed since Ellie and six of her friends returned from a camping trip deep in the Australian outback to find their country invaded by an unidentified, non-English-speaking nation. The Dead of Night opens with a brief recounting of what happened in the previous novel; two members of the group, Corrie and Kevin, are still missing. Homer, a self-appointed leader, rallies the others together to track them down. They discover that Kevin has been imprisoned, and Corrie is alive, but in a coma. The teens continue their guerrilla activities and, by the end of the story, have lost Chris, another comrade. As in Tomorrow, Ellie narrates and keeps a written record of the group's activities and experiences. She is a fully realized character who grows considerably in the story. She is a thoughtful, realistic protagonist who wrestles not only with the brutalities of war, but also with her own adolescence. Her feelings for Lee are particularly well done. She wants to have sex with him, but worries about the complications that could result. These realistically depicted human conflicts make the book much more than just an exciting apocalyptic adventure. In the end, only four members of the original seven remain, but they are still committed to fighting the enemy. Hope is alive. Although this sequel can stand on its own, readers of Tomorrow will find it far more satisfying.--Edward Sullivan, New York Public Library

    The Dead of Night

    Six teenagers are alone to fend for themselves in the Outback of Australia. In the sequel to Tomorrow, When the War Began Ellie, Lee, Homer, Fiona, Chris, and Robyn these teens are trying to survive as well as fight back their invaders, locate supplies such as food, and attempt to find more survivors of the invasion. They have already lost two of their friends, Corrie and Kevin, in the combat. The Dead of Night is an awesome book that is full of suspense. It keeps the pages turning, because you never know what is going to happen next. Because it is told from Ellie¿s point of view, the reader feels a strong connection to her. The reader knows all of Ellie¿s thoughts, emotions, and conflicts, but only knows about the other characters from their actions and what Ellie writes about them. These kids need to show courage and strength to survive. Will they make it?

    ITS THE BEST...deserves MORE than 5 stars

    This is actually the first book I read from the Tomorrow Series, and I'm was very glad to find the first(Tomorrow When the War began). This book allows you to learn a bit of Aussie while reading it. You can't put this book down. I can't tell you how many times I got in trouble for laying in bed and reading it WAY past my bedtime. Like the first book, it draws you in, and makes you want to be Ellie. Don't Crack a Mental because you don't have it....you can buy it right here...at Barnes and Noble!

    GREAT READ >>>>

    This exciting series by John Marsden is just getting bigger and better. The First book 'Tommorrow when the war began' is an thrilling novel - you just can't put the book down. When you turn over the last page your mouth is watering - waiting for more, waiting to find out what will happen in the next part of the series. I am a 14 year old and I have a certain bed time limit. Each night I just have to pick up the novel and read the next chapter - I can't sleep at night I am wanting to know what happens. This book 'The Dead of the night' explores the lives of seven teenagers. The reader is unwittingly flung headlong and gasping into the plot. The images created are so vivid that they stay with you long after the book is reluctantly closed on the final page. It is an enlightening book about growing up and discovering who you are. I think that you will enjoy the novel because I did and I know many others have too.
