The Last Kids on Earth #1-3

by Max Brallier

Diary of a Wimpy Kid meets The Walking Dead in this very funny post-apocalyptic omnibus audio collection for middle-grade readers!

The Last Kids on Earth: Ever since the monster apocalypse hit town, average thirteen year old Jack Sullivan has been living in his tree house, which he's armed to the teeth with catapults and a moat, not to mention video games and an endless supply of Oreos and Mountain Dew scavenged from abandoned stores. But Jack alone is no match for the hordes of Zombies and Winged Wretches and Vine Thingies, and especially not for the eerily intelligent monster known only as Blarg. So Jack builds a team: his dorky best friend, Quint; the reformed middle school bully, Dirk; Jack's loyal pet monster, Rover; and Jack's crush, June. With their help, Jack is going to slay Blarg, achieve the ultimate Feat of Apocalyptic Success, and be average no longer!

The Last Kids on Earth and the Zombie Parade: The zombies are disappearing. This might seem like a good thing, since zombies eat your brains, but normal human kid Jack Sullivan is suspicious. He keeps hearing an eerie shrieking noise that seems to be almost summoning the zombies--but to where, and for what (probably) foul purpose? Jack, his three best friends (maybe the only people left on Earth), and their pet monster Rover need to get to the bottom of this. Along the way they encounter a lot more than they bargained for, including a giant Wormungulous, a pizza parlor monster hangout, an ancient evil who destroys worlds, and a stereo system that is totally the bomb. Can Jack figure out why the zombies are vanishing . . . before he and his friends are next?The Last Kids on Earth and the Nightmare King: Jack's friends make a startling discovery: they may not be the last kids on earth, after all. This is great news for everyone... except Jack. Once they've found other humans, his friends won't stick around for long! Jack's only hope for keeping things the way they are is to prove that everything here is perfect, life is crazy fun, and nothing else could be any better. One problem: it's hard convincing his friends that everything is great when they're being hunted by a monstrous Nightmare King and an ancient evil who won't rest until Earth has been devoured. Crud! Maybe life after the monster apocalypse is more complicated than Jack thought...

[Oscean Letersky · Rating 5 out of 5]

I thought the book was great because it didn't have any graphic violence, it was somewhat funny, and they all worked together to survive. This is my 2nd favorite book to read because I could really imagine everything in the book easily. It almost felt more like a movie not a book. I would definitely recommend this book to people who like fun adventure and if they are 12 or younger.

[Chris · Rating 5 out of 5]

It was a really action-packed and very cool children’s book series. It had really astounding action, really great humor, really incredible characters, really tremendous adventure and really fun stories. In my opinion, I think it’s going to be one of my favorite children’s book series I’ve ever read in my whole life. I strongly recommend this book set to both kids and adults.

The kids parents left them so they decided to give everyone a virus but them they were so mad that they were motherless and fatherless they smashed the glass and the virus spread till there was nobody left.

Read this series with my 9 year old grandson. I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would. My grandson loved the series, and got a kick out of introducing me to "graphics". Strong story lines that were good openers for conversations about real life.
