So, if you are a fan of the show "The Walking Dead", (but maybe not the extreme violence of it) I have a book that is perfect for you. Max Brallier wrote a great book for kids that captures the idea of a zombie apocalypse (and added monsters) where kids are left to survive on their own in a town overrun with creatures. The story starts 42 days after the "Monster Apocalyse" began in the town of Wakefield, where you are introdued to the books main character Jack Sullivan. He is a 13 year old foster boy who captures your attention right away with his witty humor, and wanna-be hero attitude. The story goes through how he survives when he was left behind by his latest foster family, and how he makes the most out of this post-apocalyptic world. After some thrilling encounters with zombies, and a huge monster he names "Blarg", Jack finds a few kids that survived, and create his own "family" for the first time in his life. Together they battle "Blarg" for survival and make a stand to show that they have what it takes to survive this world "together". This story will have you laughing, on the edge of your seat with all the action, and even touch your heart with the characters and their stories. Check out the book The Last Kids on Earth by Max Brallier, illustrated by Douglas Holgate and its continuing series.
