Tomorrow Series by John Marsden

Tomorrow When the War Began is the first out of the seven books in the Tomorrow Series. In this book, the main characters go camping over a weekend in the bush, with no adults to accompany them. When they come back from their camp they notice that there was nobody left in the houses and they were all quiet; some houses had been broken in and ravaged through. The night before they had left to go back to the city was the night they had seen planes in many formations go by. This was the beginning of something big, something that would change their lives forever.
