The year my life broke by John Marsden

Josh’s world has turned upside down. His parents, having lost all their money, have moved to Tarrawagga, the most boring place on earth.

Lonely and grumpy, Josh finds it hard to adjust to his new life and school.  The interschool cricket match finally gives him  a chance to show off his cricketing talent and gain some respect at the same time.

Tomorrow when the war began by John Marsden.

One of our staff members recently picked up the John Marsden classic for the first time in years...

Tomorrow when the war began by John Marsden. This is well and truly a re-read, but considering the last time I read it I was a teenager, I think it counts. I remember borrowing it from my library when I was maybe in my early teens, and I remember staying up all night, heart pounding, wondering what was going to happen to Ellie and her friends. Guess what? It hasn't changed. Ten or fifteen years later, and it still 'packed a punch'- I was totally sucked in yet again!
