Overview:
Last Kids on Earth and the Midnight Blade is the fifth thrilling instalment in Max Brallier's smash-hit series, The Last Kids on Earth. Jack, Quint, June and Dirk survived their first brutal winter after the Monster Apocalypse, but the danger is far from over. When Jack discovers his trusty Louisville Slicer has gained strange new powers, he must train hard to master its secrets while zombies, Vine-Thingies and cosmic threats close in around Wakefield.

About the Book:
Packed with laugh-out-loud humour, wild monster battles and heartfelt friendship, this instalment sees Jack and his ragtag crew facing their strangest challenge yet. As the Midnight Blade reveals otherworldly abilities, Jack is thrown into intense training, torn between excitement over his new powers and fear of what they might unleash. Meanwhile, the town of Wakefield is threatened by glowing, creeping Vine-Thingies bursting from the ground, hinting at a much bigger, cosmic danger lurking beyond the monster-infested streets. Told through Max Brallier's fast, funny, kid-friendly narration and brought vividly to life with Douglas Holgate's dynamic black-and-white illustrations, the book blends short, punchy chapters with comic-style spreads that keep even reluctant readers racing to the next page. Beneath the jokes and gross-out monster gags sits a story about courage, loyalty and growing up — Jack must learn to trust his friends, face his own fears, and figure out just how far he's willing to go to protect the people (and world) he loves. Fans of the series' TV adaptation and readers new to the world of Last Kids on Earth alike will find plenty to love here, from returning fan-favourite characters to fresh monster designs and cliffhanger moments that set up the next adventure. It's a perfect pick for reluctant readers, comic-book fans and anyone who enjoys their apocalypses served with a heavy dose of humour.
