The Night Is for Hunting

fullDescription

Hell's a big place, but it gets crowded when Ellie and her friends take an uncooperative crew of orphans under their wing and into their hidden refuge. It's not easy to keep four young children busy and happy in the bush, and things only get worse when Ellie and Homer find evidence that mysterious visitors have discovered their sanctuary. Could it be a patrol of enemy soldiers sent on a search and destroy mission? They find out all too soon.
In a time and place where war robs your identity, makes you forget your past and fear your future, it seems impossible for Ellie to make sense of a world that is quickly falling apart. And after a peaceful food raid turns into a nightmarish fight for survival, escape back to Hell seems hopeless.
Ellie, Fi, Homer, Lee, and Kevin brave the worst in this electrifying continuation of their battle to stay alive and sane in a war zone that was once their home.
The Night Is for Hunting is the sixth book in the Tomorrow When the War Began series.

     The adventures of five Australian teenagers continue in the sixth installment in the Tomorrow series, The Night Is for Hunting by John Marsden. While trying to care for a group of ungrateful orphans, Ellie and her friends struggle to survive against enemy invaders.

     October 1, 2001
     Gr 7 Up-Marsden continues the saga that began in Tomorrow When the War Began (Houghton, 1995), in which Australia was invaded and occupied by an unknown enemy and a group of teens organized a guerrilla campaign against the invaders. New Zealand has since been drawn into the war, but the setting of this sixth installment is largely in "Hell," a part of the Australian outback used by the young partisans as a safe haven when they aren't launching attacks against the enemy. Ellie and her comrades take in "ferals," children who have been left to run wild in the streets of a nearby town. The kids are not receptive to being cared for, and the teens' attempts at building a sense of community and family sometimes allow for a few lighthearted moments. The war, of course, is never far away. There are plenty of dramatic, fast-paced battle scenes with lots of action and carnage, which is vividly depicted. Ellie wrestles with her conscience throughout the story. Does she have the right to kill others in order to survive? Marsden offers no definitive answer to such questions, leaving readers to make up their own minds. Although this story picks up where Darkness, Be My Friend (Houghton, 2001) left off, it stands on its own well enough for readers unfamiliar with the series to appreciate it. The main audience for the book, however, is likely to be those who have followed the war from the beginning.-Edward Sullivan, White Pine School, TN

     Gr. 8-12. Although the eagerly awaited sixth book in the Tomorrow series will not disappoint avid fans, it's obvious that Marsden is winding down his story. The five remaining teens, who have fought relentlessly against the enemy invading Australia, are fighting personal battles of loneliness and isolation, while war and death are their constant companions. At the same time, they are creating a broader family by rescuing and trying to care for a group of feral children. The rescue creates reading excitement and the wild chases, narrow escapes, and gun battles are trademark Marsden. Once again, Ellie is the leader of the brave, compassionate band of marauders, and the parenting that they undertake is an interesting twist to the story. As the book ends, readers will be left with the nagging suspicion that the bush wilderness is no longer safe, and with the bittersweet anticipation of rescue and victory.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2001, American Library Association.)

     In the sixth book in the series that started with "Tomorrow, When the War Began, " Ellie and her friends find themselves caring for "the ferals," a group of children who have been struggling to survive on their own. The pace is slower than in the previous books, but fans of the series will find the same tense action scenes and thought-provoking handling of the effects of war on these Australian teens. Glos.
