"Terrifyingly fun! Delivers big thrills and even bigger laughs."--Jeff Kinney, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Diary of a Wimpy Kid

Ever since the monster apocalypse hit town, average thirteen year old Jack Sullivan has been living in his tree house, which he's armed to the teeth with catapults and a moat, not to mention video games and an endless supply of Oreos and Mountain Dew scavenged from abandoned stores. But Jack alone is no match for the hordes of Zombies and Winged Wretches and Vine Thingies, and especially not for the eerily intelligent monster known only as Blarg. So Jack builds a team: his dorky best friend, Quint; the reformed middle school bully, Dirk; Jack's loyal pet monster, Rover; and the fiercest girl Jack knows, June. With their help, Jack is going to slay Blarg, achieve the ultimate Feat of Apocalyptic Success, and be average no longer! Can he do it?

Told in a mixture of text and black-and-white illustration, this is the perfect series for any kid who's ever dreamed of starring in their own comic book or video game.

Goodreads review by Shadyside Library on July 30, 2024

This book was alright. The comics were silly and funny but overall pretty forgettable. Interesting backstory about Evie Snark, I completely forgot about her! I definitely prefer the normal graphic novels over the comics, but this book was technically #6.5 so I figured it’s supposed to be read before......more

When a ferocious monster attacks the tree house during their board-game night, the Last Kids on Earth and their monster buddies launch into telling their own adventurous tales to prove who is worthy enough to fight the deadly monster one-on-one. “The Last Kids on Earth: Thrilling Tales from the Tree......more

* "Terrifically funny . . . Snarky end-of-the-world fun."--Publisher's Weekly, starred review

* "This book provides loads of laughs. . . . A gross-out good time with surprisingly nuanced character development."--School Library Journalstarred review

"The video-game-like plotting, gross-out humor, frequent pop-culture references, and quippy dialogue make this a great fit for reluctant readers. Recommend to Wimpy Kid fans looking for a horror-lite adventure."--Booklist

"Young zombie fans will rejoice in this new series that has all the oozing (by the zombies) and heroism (by the kids) that they could hope for."--The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
