The Last Kids on Earth

Thirteen-year-old Jack Sullivan is a foster child who is surviving the monster apocalypse without adult help. He lives in a tree-house, plays video games and defeats monsters. We haven't finished the book yet, but this might be the best book in the universe for my dyslexic, zombie crazed, video-game-loving eight year old son. We gave it to him as a birthday gift along with Plants Vs. Zombies Garden Warfare for the X-Box One. He BEGS me to read to him from it every day. I read him 2 chapters per day and it's not enough. He talks about the characters as though they are real people. After I read it to him this first time, my plan it to have him read it to me. It is very engaging for him and has a lot of pictures to support the text. I am a second grade teacher and would say that this book is appropriate for most third or fourth grade students who read at grade level, or older students. It would be a challenging read for most second graders and some third graders. If you're sensitive to language like "stupid" being used in a children's book, you may cringe a little sometimes. The language, though, is not too bad and in my opinion well worth it considering how engaging the book is for my reluctant reader. I would recommend this book.

My 7 year old son absolutely loves these books!

I have been hunting for a book that would help my son fall in love with reading. I’ve strikes out, until now. I bought this book knowing it may be too advanced for my son to read completely on his own, so I was aware it might be more of a read-aloud then a read-alone. But what I really wanted was for him to fall in love with the written word. And this knocked it out of the ballpark. Out! All the way out. We started the book yesterday and finished it in less than 24 hours. He was begging me to read him more, and now he’s begging for the next book. I am so excited to see how excited he is about reading now. I’m finding the story very fun to read, it’s entertaining and funny and sweet at times. I have a good feeling he’s going to be reading this series (eventually entirely on his own one day) for years to come. Every kid should have a memory of that series that made you want to stay up all night reading with a flashlight. Mine was Emily of Blue Moon, and it looks like my son’s is going to be The Last Kids on Earth. Bravo Max for creating a book approved by both a 7-year old boy and his 41-year old mom!

Good book 10 year olds and very adventurous I rely enjoyed it and I love how I can relate to it

I'm a 4th grade teacher, and so I can see the appeal of this series to boys steeped in a Wimpy Kid sensibility. On the plus side, the author does great things with similes, and his main character is fairly well developed and addresses his emotional ups and downs. On the negative side, the author perpetuates some negative tropes about the differences between boys and girls. For instance, when searching for the missing love interest, the main character says, "Let's try the mall. Girls like the mall, right? That's a thing." The worst example is when the main character tries to convince his friend to keep a monster as a pet. After the friend declines, the character says, "Quint, I hear you telling me no. But I think, I'm pretty sure, your eyes are telling me yes." And then he takes the monster into the house. That's the stereotypical line leading up to date rape, so why is it showing up in boys' literature right in the middle of the Me-Too era? If it goes to a second print, maybe the publisher can edit this kind of stuff out. Otherwise, it's a great series for boys.

Grand daughter lives this series of Books.

My ones really enjoys the book. Trying to have him work on his reading during the summer and this definitely keeps him entertained.

I saw the sequel to this book posted on facebook and immediately ordered it for my son who loves to read. He is obsessed with DoaWK so I knew since the writer of that book commented on TLKoE, he would love this as well. Anyway, once I commented on the post the author sent me a message and said he'd like to send my son a signed sticker for each book. Such perfect timing since my little one was just about to turn 9 and these were part of his birthday presents! My son read the first book in TWO DAYS! He absolutely loved it! I was trying to hold on to the 2nd book but once the signed stickers arrived, I couldn't pass up the chance to surprise my son with not only the book, but the stickers as well! I've attached some photos here for you to see just how much my son loved the book. The first photo is him receiving the sequel and the next couple of photos are of him realizing he now has autographed stickers for each book! Max Brallier has written a great series and has fabulous communication with his fan base! we are definitely looking forward to the future books in this series coming out!

シリーズにたぶん2冊位しか無いのですが、面白いらしく、子供が一気読みしていました。お勧めです☆

My son is obsessed with this series, we started on book 7 before realizing we needed to start with 1. Slowly purchasing the whole series for him Would recommended :)

Bought for my nephew. He loved it.

Kitabın içeriğini inceleyip satın aldık. Habersiz satın almıştım. Çok sevindi. Eline aldığı gibi okumaya başladı. Eğlenceli bir kitap, Netflix dizisi de mevcut. Şu anda zevkle okuyor.

A decent book exactly as described.
