Corrie
One of Ellie’s friends. Ellie and the others invite Chris on their initial camping trip to Hell, but he isn’t able to go because his parents are going overseas, and he has to stay home and housesit. After the foreign power invades Australia, Chris hides in a tree in his backyard and manages to avoid capture, and he meets up with his friends when Homer suggests they go to Chris’s house and steal his parents’ car. Like the others, Chris is immature and inexperienced when the war breaks out, and he even falls asleep during his first watch and endangers all their lives. However, Chris grows like the rest of the group, and by the end of the novel, he is transformed into an adult who handles the stress of the war with maturity and wisdom.

We’ve got to stick together, that’s all I know. We all drive each other crazy at times, but I don’t want to end up here alone, like the Hermit. Then this really would be Hell. Humans do such terrible things to each other that sometimes my brain tells me they must be evil. But my heart still isn’t convinced. I just hope we can survive.
