“I was totally not a hero, totally not a tough guy, totally not fighting giant monsters. But look at me now. Battling a gargantuan beast on the roof of the local CVS. Life is crazy like that.”
MAX BRALLIER, THE LAST KIDS ON EARTH

Interview With an Author: Max Brallier
Los Angeles Times, January 2020
In kids’ TV, it’s the end of the world. But don’t expect ‘gloom and doom’
“A perfect example of what an illustrated novel can and should be. Middle-grade readers, particularly boys, will find Jack’s pitch-perfect mix of humor, bravado, and self-professed geekiness impossible to resist. . .”
