How will the book end?

I am currently half way through the book and the action in intense. As there is another six books in the series I certainly don't think there will be a huge resolution at the end of the book. Maybe wirrawee will be taken back by Australia with help of the Australian defence force aswell as Ellie and the gang, maybe the people in the show grounds will rebel and be set free or Ellie's gang will kill a leader of the foreign army or a group of invading soldier. I'm sure the text will end with some important triumph but the war will be far from over.

Character development

I think all characters have developed and will further develope throughout the novel however, So far I presume that Homer will have the biggest change throughout the text as he already shows sighns of maturing. Homer has expressed his affection for Fi already showing that he has changed from a tough guy with "no emotion" to a somewhat more realistic character. I think Homer will further develope by establishing a relationship with Fi and also by the hardship the text has so far foreshadowed.

First impressions

I found the opening chapter of the book very confusing but once the scene was set I understood that the key protagonist Ellie was writing the story to document their achievements, the first 5 chapters of the book still provided little entertainment but I assume there is excitement to come judging from the title and unusual clues such as fleets of fighter jets and fires everywhere which foreshadow that something unusual is going on. The characters seem real enough besides Homer, I have never met someone with similar traits and characteristics of Homer. So far Lee seems less important than the other protagonist and is relatively unheard of however Ellie does describe him as being quiet. So far the novel is enjoyable however lacks excitement and has still not gotten to the conflict in the story.
