The fight goes on as five regular youngsters are forced to return to the center of a huge struggle.
Ellie and her four surviving companions had barely managed to flee the Australian village of Wirrawee five months into World War III, both alive and sane.
However, as the next step becomes apparent, they understand they will have to give up their hard-earned safety and comfort once again. The children have been enlisted by a squad of soldiers to provide directions to the Wirrawee air base.
What may be the driving force for Ellie and her companions' return? Their families' survival may depend only on this perilous sabotage expedition.
