'Forty-two days ago I was an ordinary kid, living an uneventful life. But now it's TOTAL MONSTER ZOMBIE C HAOS and I'm battling beasts on a daily basis. C razy, right? But I know exactly how to make it through the zombie apocalypse.' Meet Jack Sullivan, self-described as a late-blooming, slow-developing 13-year-old who has so far survived the zombie apocalypse by hiding out in his treehouse.

Overnight Jack's life has become like the plot of a video game and he has come up with his own ULTIMATE FEATS OF APOCALYPTIC SUCCESS:

Locate Quint Baker, best friend and inventor
Find and rescue June Del Toro, his secret love interest
Defeat Blarg, the biggest, baddest monster in town
Become a zombie-fighting, monster-bashing tornado of cool!

The Simpsons meets The Walking Dead in the first book of a hilarious new monster adventure series. Fans of Wimpy Kid, Tom Gates, Barry Loser and Dogman will love accompanying Jack on his mission to become the post-apocalyptic action hero. With hilarious, action-filled illustrations from Douglas Holgate bringing the story to life on every page, The Last Kids on Earth will captivate even the most reluctant readers.

Perfect for zombie-hunters of 8 years and upwards. Look out for Last Kids on Earth and the Zombie Parade , coming soon!

Industry Reviews

1

'terrifically funny' ... Holgate's b&w cartoons mix splatter-and-slime-heavy action sequences with humorous character profiles (a portrait of a "winged wretch" points out the creature's "huge, hooked talons like a freaking velociraptor"), all playing into Jack's gamified take on post-apocalyptic life. Snarky end-of-the-world fun. Ages 8-12.', Reviewer, Publisher's Weekly

'this is the perfect book for any kid who's ever dreamed of starring in his or her own comic book or video game.', Critic, KIDSREADS.COM

'This is a book that will keep you turning the pages, regardless of your age, and is a fantastic book for reluctant readers. It's easily accessible, it's funny, and there's plenty of monster action.', Stephanie O'Connell, 100% Rock Magazine
