I'm re-reading the When the War Began series by listening to the audio books.
The third novel, which in Australia is called "The Third Day, The Frost" (which is probably my favourite title of all the books in this series) is the most action-heavy and emotionally draining so far - ships are blown up, there's capture and interrogation, and a truly devastating death.

The third installment in the Tomorrow series, this one is the most action packed so far.
Ellie and her teenaged friends are still in the thick of everything after their country is invaded while they were away on a camping trip in the Australian bush.
The group plans and executes a daring sabotage mission hoping to cripple the invaders access to their town.
I find myself often comparing this series to the movie Red Dawn...it has many similarities and has the same feel. A group of teenagers turned warriors facing seemingly insurmountable odds in a fight for their lives.
I've noticed a lot of reviews talking about the unbelievableness (not really a word but it fits) of teenagers being able to do what this group does. But I find the story somewhat believable - would it happen this way, probably not but it could and part of the fun of reading a story such as this is the suspension of disbelief.
