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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Book:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPacked 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBook 5 in the bestselling Last Kids on Earth series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast-paced, funny middle-grade adventure for reluctant readers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIllustrated throughout by Douglas Holgate in comic-book style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for fans of the Netflix animated adaptation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncourages a love of reading through humour and action\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat gift for kids aged 8-12 who love monsters and adventure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nMax Brallier is a #1 New York Times, USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author best known for creating The Last Kids on Earth series, which has sold millions of copies worldwide and been adapted into an Emmy-nominated Netflix animated series, on which he also serves as writer and executive producer.
