In John Marsden's third book of his Tomorrow series, The Third Day the Frost, Ellie and her friend's fates are tempted many times through out the book. They come across many obstacles along their way. The foreign army which has invaded their country is after them for all of the damage they have and done, also for all the soldiers lives they have taken through out the war.

They plan one big attack in which Ellie and Homer must sneak into Cobbler's Bay and blow up a ship. Ellie is sidetracked by a solider; when she finally manages to get to the meeting area her friends are in a tight space surrounded by soldiers. Ellie manages to come through the fear and save her friends lives by killing the soldiers. Ellie and her friends also manage to escape from Stratton prison which had been taken under control by the enemy army and Major Harvey, but as they are almost in their getaway car Major Harvey steps in and delays them threatening to kill Robyn. In order to save her friends Robyn sacrifices herself.

In my opinion this was the most exciting book so far in the series. John Marsden is an excellent writer. He knows exactly how to capture a teenager's attention and how to express the feelings and actions of his characters. This book shows determination, courage, fear, anxiety, exhaustion, confusion, and just about every emotion you can feel. Once you start you reading you do not want to put this book down. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the books in the Tomorrow series.

This book is sensational and great read. When Ellie and her friends are half way though all they have is courge, sprit and pride.
