Love to read? Join our new Children’s Zoom Book Club! In December, we will be reading The Last Kids on Earth by Max Brallier.
It’s been 42 days since the onset of Monster Apocalypse, and because his foster family abandoned him once the vicious zombies, sentient vines, and grotesque beasts arrived, Jack has been relying on his wits and gumption to survive. To keep himself going, he outfits his tree house into an “impenetrable fortress of power” and assigns himself video-game-style “Feats of Apocalyptic Success”. He reunites with his genius best friend, Quint, and former bully Dirk, and along with their “pet” monster, Rover, they set off to the middle school to rescue June—who so doesn’t need it.
Limited registration. Please call the Children’s Department to reserve you space and pick up a copy of the book. For children in 3-5 grade.
