Review Part three

So we are back with the third installment of our review series. Today I'm going to discuss some if the novel's setting. Tomorrow When the War Began is starts in the fictional town of Wirrawee in the nonfictional country of Australia. Wirawee is described in the book as being a small rural country town. It is described to be almost a haven like area where everyone knows each other, everyone is hard working and more importantly everyone is 'innocent'. 

All of our main characters and their families are based in this small and complacent town. Once they have convinced their parents to let them go they head of to the second location, 'Hell'. 'Hell' has been described in the book to be a giant crater-like area. The book describes it as being covered in different types of vegetation with hidden tracks and unexpected paths. 'Hell' is displayed as a very isolated area due to the fact that it's surrounded by cliffs and 'Satan's steps'. 'Satan's steps' are large, sheer drops that are the path the group takes to proceed into 'Hell'.

When the characters return from 'Hell', Wirawee has transformed into what appears to be a ghost town. Families are all missing animals are either sick or have passed away and most of the buildings apart from stores look strangely untouched. These are the main locations of events during the book as the are both visited again. Well end on that note for today. Thanks for reading and keep looking for more posts.
