This month I read a book called The Last Kids on Earth and the Nightmare King by Max Brallier. In this book main character Jack Sullivan along with Quint, June, and Dirk, are trying to survive in the post-apocalyptic world. Most of the humans became zombies but monsters also came to Earth. Jack and his buddies live in their treehouse and have a bunch of fun. Quint, June, and Dirk want to find their families when the gang finds a walkie talkie. However, Jack is an orphan and wants to stay with his friends. What will happen next?
This book was really fun to read because it is about normal kids our age but they’re in a completely different world. The book is very interesting and fun and I couldn’t put it down. I highly recommend this book. This is the third book of the series so start from book one. My favorite character in this book is Quint because he is book smart but not street smart. This is a really bad but funny thing in the post-apocalyptic world. On pg. 9 the text states, “Quint immediately curls up into a ball and plays dead like it’s a bear attack. Thankfully, Dirk is there. He snags both zombies by their ankles and using his ludicrous strength,” My favorite quote from the book is “‘Hey! Knock it off! We’re trying to have a nice day!’” This quote is meaningful to me because it is extremely funny. This quote occurs when Jack and June are on a ride at Fun Land. A monster tries to grab their car and Jack shouts at the monster.
