Changes

Despite those qualms, I'm certainly enjoying this as a series and would happily recommend it. I'm about to start book three myself and am looking forward to finding out what happens to the group - although with seven altogether and a follow-up series, I'm expecting a few more of the cliffhangers to come!

For another tale of teenagers left without any adults due to the outbreak of war, then [[How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff]] is less action-orientated but completely spellbinding.
