The Last Kids on Earth gets a lupine twist by way of Margaret
Peterson Haddix in this eerie middle grade adventure set in a small town
where all the adults are werewolves but the kids begin to suspect
something else sinister is putting them at even greater risk.
When everyone's a werewolf, it's hard to spot the monster...
Thirteen-year-old Sel lives in the remote, isolated town of Tremorglade,
where nothing interesting ever seems to happen. Well, unless you count
the one night a month when the full moon rises and kids like him must
lock up their parents while they transform into werewolves (though
Tremorgladers prefer to call them Rippers). But that's the whole world's
new normal since the Disruption changed everything well before Sel was
born.
But when strange things begin happening in Tremorglade, like drones
emitting sickening sounds and people behaving oddly, Sel and his friends
begin asking questions about what's really going on in their small town.
And suspiciously soon after they do, Rippers begin escaping on
confinement nights, people start disappearing, and the kids suspect
they're being followed.
Maybe there's a reason no one ever seems to leave Tremorglade...and it's
up to Sel and his friends to figure out the truth someone doesn't want
them to know before another full moon puts them all at a bite risk.
