About this listen

 The seventh and final volume in the award-winning Tomorrow series.

After six incredible books, John Marsden has written the final volume and a last adventure for Ellie, Lee, Homer, Fi, and Kevin. It may be the end of the series, but does it mean the end to Australia as we know it or the end of the war? Or both?

Critic Reviews

"Ellie, the narrator, is a strong female character and the weight of her leadership responsibilities and the urgency of the situations the group faces are vividly conveyed. The action sequences are gripping and there is an expected amount of violence. The confusion, depression, and tensions that follow the end of the fighting are also realistically depicted." (School Library Journal)

"Marsden is at his exciting, if somewhat improbable, best." (Booklist)

"As always, the plot keeps readers on the edge of their seats....An outstanding story of friendship, courage, and survival." (Kirkus Reviews)

I first read the tomorrow series as a 15 year old. I couldn't put the books down then and when I started listening to these for the sake of nostalgia 6years later I found myself once again completely entranced.
Marsdens gift for understanding the mind of teenagers, especially "rurals" like myself is amazing. This allows him to construct such characters as Ellie, Homer, Kevin, Fi, Corrie and Lee in a way in which young adults can only connect with.
Suzy Doherty is great in her delivery of the story and of conveying Ellie's emotions throughout the text.
The story is enthralling from start to finish. The combination of character and plot development with incredible internal and external struggle, not only within charcters themselves but as a group will take hold of you and not let go.
I highly recommend you read this.

Having started this series years ago as a teenager, I've finally completed it now. Wow! Both the storytelling and narration is brilliant, with an ending which is both satisfying and believable, a feat I hardly imagined possible as I read the latter half of the book.

A great conclusion to a great series.

It’s hard to write a fair review when something already holds a special place in your heart, from your childhood, so I won’t bother. I love this series so incredibly much. Every cliche that exists between a reader and their beloved series is true of myself and the Tomorrow books, and the sequels - there isn’t anything that I have read before or since that has been there for me more, raised me and shaped me in the same profound and holistic way that Ellie’s story has, however fictional. To say these books have meant the world to me is to undercommit, but what else can be said? In particular, The Other Side of Dawn is an excellent conclusion; so many themes of the series are addressed and wrapped up so well, and the weight of everything is appropriate. The final chapters heave with the emotion and pragmatism that is so key to the telling of this story, and I find myself learning and re-learning all the important lessons of life whenever I can squeeze in a re-reading.
My Auntie bought While I Live for me one Christmas, and the story has been a guide and support ever since, and I’ve definitely needed it.

If there is a young person in your life that is beginning to come into their own, or someone you know who is struggling with their life or a sense of emptiness, gift them these books, with love. I’m sure it will change them like it changed me for the better.

A Fine Conclusion
