The Last Kids on Earth and the Nightmare King by Max Brallier

 

Life after the zombie apocalypse is pretty good for 13-year-old Jack Sullivan: he lives in a mind-clobbering cool tree fort with his best friends, speeds through town playing Real-Life Mario Kart, has a crew of monster buddies, battles zombies on the regular, and generally treats life like it's a videogame! But then Jack's friends make a startling discover: they may not be the last kids on earth, after all. The Last Kids on Earth and the Nightmare King by Max Brallier illustrated by Douglas Holgate was published in 2017. This is book three of the Last Kids on Earth series. 

Mason and myself read this book together before bed each night for a little one-on-one time. We have been reading the Last Kid series off and on and we both enjoyed reading this book. The illustrations in this book are amazing even when they were not in color. It really brings out the plot of the story. The plot of the story goes great with the first two books. They build upon each other which is what a good book series does. They build up and there is not much of a gap. The characters are the same loveable characters that we fell in love with the first two books. Mason and I spent time giggling at the silly antics of the characters. We really enjoyed this book and can not wait to read the next book in the series.
