O.M.Gosh. I am completely and totally addicted to this series. I've read book one (When the War Began) and book two (The Dead of Night) over the past four days.
The story is set in Australia. A high school girl named Ellie gathers her friends for a week in the "bush". They camp and have a grand time while everyone back at home is going to the Show - which sounds like what we might think of as the State Fair and Independence Day combined. While they are camping, an enemy invades and begins a war.
The six kids return after a week to discover devastation. They have to make a big decision then: fight back or surrender. Since there are seven books in the series, I think that telling you they decide to fight back is not a spoiler!
For those of you eagerly awaiting the release of the third book in Suzanne Collins's Hunger Games trilogy, this will definitely help to hold you over!

ps...the first book is soon to be a movie!
