I somehow missed the word last month that #JohnMarsden is gone. Very sad news. His #TomorrowSeries and #EllieChronicles novels are such powerful #YA works of #PostApocalyptic and #RuinedEarth fiction. #ScienceFiction #SFF #Books #TomorrowWhenTheWarBegan

Sad to see that author #JohnMarsden has passed away. Tomorrow, When The War Began was a good read for younger me.

John Marsden was so influential on me and I love revisiting him with my students, taking the torch from my own English teachers.

A master at capturing the adolescent voice and using the epistolary form. It always impressed me how his characters sounded like friends.
