Review quote:

”Terrifyingly fun! Max Brallier”s The Last Kids on Earth delivers big thrills and even bigger laughs.” Jeff Kinney, author of Diary of a Wimpy Kid

”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

”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
