The Last Kids on Earth

The Last Kids on Earth by Max Brallier follows thirteen-year-old Jack Sullivan, who is surviving the monster apocalypse from his well-fortified treehouse. Armed with catapults, a moat, and stocked with Oreos and Mountain Dew, Jack has the comforts of a post-apocalyptic world, but he's far from safe. With monsters like Zombies, Winged Wretches, and the powerful Blarg roaming the land, Jack realizes he needs a team. He recruits his best friend Quint, the former bully Dirk, his pet monster Rover, and the tough-as-nails June to help him battle these creatures. Together, they embark on an epic adventure to take down Blarg and secure Jack's place as a true hero.

The story blends text and black-and-white illustrations, making it a fun, fast-paced read for kids who enjoy comic books and video games. It's an action-packed, humorous series filled with friendship, bravery, and plenty of monster-slaying excitement.
