The Chronicles of Narnia – another series which I read all of the books, but I hardly remember anything at all, and I think in the end I got a little bored of the series.Tomorrow When the War Began by John Marsden – this is a series that I definitely DO want to revisit, because it was just so good! As I’ve said before, probably kickstarted my love of survival books.A Series of Unfortunate Events – I hardly remember what happened in them, but I know that I loved them at the time.Perhaps, if I have children, I’ll revisit them that way.
The thing is with most of these, I would love to revisit, but I don’t think I will, because I’m afraid that I won’t like them anymore, and they are best left in the past. The question remains will it act together in concert to preserve humanity or to destroy? Questions that are still relevant today for teen readers.This week’s TTT brings us 10 books from my childhood/teenhood that I would love to revisit.

Way ahead of his time was Kelleher, this 1995 published book was written before movies like Avatar or The Matrix and before cloning and extra-uteral births were considered a possibility. He writes a good human interest story with enough dramatic tension and thrills to ensure pages are turned quickly and enough philosophy to challenge cherished beliefs about nature and planetary intelligence. As a middle aged woman teen sci fi holds no real attraction for me yet the serendipity of finding this book on a shelf in an old NSW nurses hostel was a fortunate stroke of luck. Acclaimed Australian author Victor Kelleher explores themes of apocalypse, human responsibility, survival and freedom in a sinister future scenario where two teens are sent back to repopulate the earth thousands of years from now.
