Tomorrow When the War Began
Tomorrow When the War Began is a teen fiction book written by John Marsden. This is a book that I first read during my final year of primary school. Reading this book again brought back some great memories for me. I found the book even more enjoyable now as I am now more equipped to understand the story and themes being presented through this book. I can now see the emotion that is being conveyed through this story when the invasion begins and felt a real connection to the characters because of this. This was something that I seriously missed as a child as I was more focused on the action that was presented by this novel. It is a very enjoyable and entertaining read with an action packed story.
Toad Rage
The second Book that I am looking at for this week is Toad Rage by Morris Gleitzman. As a child I had read many of Morris Gleitzman’s novels but not this one. This like a lot of the other teen novels by him that I read during adolescence was very humorous and entertaining. This story is based around the life of its main character, Limpy. Limpy is an Australian cane toad who becomes tired of all of his relatives becoming flattened on the roads by humans so he sets out to find out why humans hate cane toads. It is a very entertaining, light-hearted and funny novel to read for young adolescents. The descriptions that are used within the book really help to capture the readers imagination.
