"Terrifyingly fun! Delivers big thrills and even bigger laughs."--Jeff Kinney, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Diary of a Wimpy Kid

Diary of a Wimpy Kid meets The Walking Dead in this very funny post-apocalyptic graphic novel for middle-grade readers. 


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! Can he do it? 

Told in a mixture of text and black-and-white illustration, this is the perfect book for any kid who's ever dreamed of starring in his or her own comic book or video game. And then grab the sequel, The Last Kids on Earth and the Zombie Parade, now a New York Times bestseller!

I love Jack so much because he acts like a natural born leader and he is the best character in the whole series

It is such a good book you have to read it. Jake and his friend that are the last kids one earth. There town has been invated and he fights all these monsters. But he is alone because he and his friend have split up and he can't talk to him because Jake broke his walkie talkie.

This book is awesome, i love the series in general and i hope u continue the series

The Last Kids on Earth first got me hooked because of Jack Sullivan had such a humorous and optimistic outlook on things. He captured funny moments that could never be recreated, and turned surviving into a game. One thing is for sure, though, The Last Kids on Earth is not the everyday book! -BKS reviews
