Synopsis

Burning for Revenge is the fifth book in John Marsden's Tomorrow series, following a group of Australian teenagers who become guerrilla fighters after returning from a camping trip to find their country invaded. Separated from the New Zealand soldiers they had been guiding, Ellie and the rest of her small group must survive and keep resisting on their own, deep in enemy-held territory.

The novel continues the series' close, first-person account -- narrated by Ellie -- of ordinary teenagers forced into sabotage, combat, and constant fear, as they grapple with what the war has already cost them and what they are willing to do to keep fighting it. It sits in the middle of the seven-book series that began with Tomorrow, When the War Began.
