THE TOMORROW TRILOGY

Three Sci-fi novels based on the hit 90s Australian tv series, The Girl from Tomorrow, including a new sequel called A New Tomorrow.

The Girl from Tomorrow was a twelve-part Australian science fiction series first broadcast in 1990. It told the story of a 14-year-old time traveller from the year 3000 called Alana, who’s kidnapped by a bandit named Silverthorn and finds herself trapped in the twentieth century. 

Written by acclaimed children’s writers, Mark Shirrefs and John Thomson, it was produced by Film Australia and was broadcast around the world. Including on Channel Nine in 1990 and BBC One in 1991. 

After a successful first series, the show returned for a second season, called Tomorrow’s End and both iconic series were novelised by the writers and published in the early 90s. These books have been out of print for decades. 

35 years after its debut, The Girl from Tomorrow has achieved iconic status and is fondly remembered by its fans, who’ve since shown the series to their children (and in some cases grandchildren). 

Idiot Box Books is proud to announce we’ve teamed up with Mark Shirrefs and John Thomson to crowdfund The Tomorrow Trilogy. A three book boxset featuring a reprint of The Girl from Tomorrow and Tomorrow’s End and, for the first time, a new sequel set 35 years after the original story called A New Tomorrow. 

The books are fully licensed by Screen Australia and crowdfunded Summer 2025.
