Incurable
Ellie Linton has struggled to put the war behind her and lead a normal life. Although there's nothing normal about your parents having been murdered; trying to run a farm and go to school; and bringing up a young boy who is hiding terrible secrets about his past. But Ellie is a survivor and that's because she is honest, loyal and incurably brave. Sometimes, though, she's just plain lucky... So what happens to survivors when their luck runs out?

Following on from John Marsden's best-selling 'Tomorrow' series, the three books which form the 'Ellie Chronicles' continue the story of Ellie Linton and her friends after the war which changed their lives irrevocably.
For Ellie Linton, being back on the farm with her parents is what makes the terrible things that happened during the war - the things she, Homer, Lee, Fi, and the others had to do - all worthwhile. It's where she belongs.
But the war won't let her go. A devastating tragedy has shattered any hope she ever had to reclaim her life, or herself. It's a new kind of fight. And the enemy isn't always from the other side of the border.
