Et cetera : Library Book Review: The Last Kids on Earth

The Last Kids on Earth
     By Max Brallier and Douglas Holgate

                               Junior Fiction; ages 8-12
                               Reviewed by Connie Bennett

    Attention Parents and other gift-givers! If there is a kid in your life who loves to read, or one that loves comedy-science fiction, here's a suggestion! I just discovered, through interaction with some young patrons, this awesome series at Vinton Public Library about monsters and zombie plagues!
    Now in its third season, there is a Netflix Original series based on the book, which has gained a following of young readers of apocalyptic action novels. Consider this abrupt, attention-grabbing beginning:
    "...forty-two days since the monster apocalypse hit town and pretty much everyone ran away or got zombified....Jack (must) slay Blarg, prove himself the ultimate post-apocalyptic action hero, and be average no longer! Can he do it?"
    The first of an ongoing series, this adventure is available by single volume or  boxed set; it  has recently been joined by a four-volume set of graphic novels! I'm already on Book Two, and am encouraging all Zombie Slayers to join me! To the quest!
