I loved this book, my teacher put me onto this book. The writting style of it is different and it has no chapters so you can simply pick up or put down the book whenever and not have to worry about chapters! I told everyone who said anything about books to read it. Letters From the Inside, made me feel selfish when i can not go out, when there are girls just as young as myself in trouble with the law! it opened my eyes to more than my own and people close to me and their problems, they just dont seem as big! i reccomend this book to all.

I really loved this book never wanted to put it down..but i didn't like how it ended it really got me thinking about what happened to mandy..but then i realised what could of happened to her..i think its sick that steve was so sick and psycho that he would kill his own sister..but i kind of thought it would get to a point like that..i wanted to know what tracey did to get put in jail but it didnt say..it must of been pretty bad i thought she might of killed her dad..or anyone else she seemed pretty protective of keeping it a secret from mandy

Well i like the book, but i didnt understand certain parts of the ending.Like the part when Tracey was willing to send more and more letters even if mandy didnt reply.But i didnt understand why MAndy didnt reply.But then i stopped and thought, in the book mandy said that her brother had 2 guns, and that he was going a bit crazy and creepy. Then Tracey replied that she kept having these dreams, when all that she saw was blood. and Tracey said that the last christmas she had in jail was terrible because, a lady that was in jail killed her self with a jug cord.And then tracey kept on writing to Mandy. but she didnt know that she was(dead, hurt, moved)e.g) but for a year she kept on writing to her with out Mandy replying to her, all of the lketters that Tracey sent to Mandy got resent bacdk to her.
All i wanted to say was that MAndys mother or father could of sent Tracey a letter saying what happened to her or informed her.in which happened to Mandy

steve killed mandy and her family because he was angry because he failed the hsc. traceys dream is what happens to mandy i think, the blood and bullets and knives is when steve kills mandy. tracey dreamed it as it happened.

hi my name is luke and i live in australia my grade 7 teacher read the first book to us because she believed us to be mature enough to have them read and i am greatful to her for doing that because without her i would not have noticed the books i have read all 7 books of the tommorow series 4 times and finished them the fastest in 5 and a half days i love the books. After a while i became bored because i wanted to read more and go deeper into that time that ellie and friends were in because it was like you were right there with them destroying the airfield and witnessing chris die so i then found the first book of the ellie chronicals while i lived i have read it 6 times the fastest being two hours and awaited the next book of the series i dont know how many books are going to be in the series and i can only hope that there is as many or more these are a series of books that i hope to pass on to my kids and them to thiers again my name is luke im 16 from australia thankyou for your time

I am a reading specialist in he NYC shcools and I work in a high school in Queens, NY. I taught Letters From the Inside for the 1st time last term. My students could NOT put it down! Kids who had not read a novel in a long time were up until 1 or 2 AM reading it! Our class discussions were quite intense and it enabled them to vent and/or voice opinions about many issues that were mentioned or inferred in the novel. Does anyone else have a teaching guide for it? If you do please post a reponse... My students wish that John Marsden would write a sequel to see what else happened to Tracey and Mandy.
