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.
Eleven-year-old Sel lives in the remote, isolated town of Tremorglade
where every month on the full moon, kids like him must lock up and guard
their parents while they transform into werewolf-like creatures called
Rippers. This is everyone's new normal since the Disruption changed ways
of life around the world, well before Sel was born.
...Or is it?
When strange things begin happening in Tremorglade, like drones emitting
sickening sounds and pen pals behaving oddly, Sel and his friends begin
asking questions about what's really going on. But 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 leaves Tremorglade...and it's up to
Sel and his friends to figure out the truth before another full moon
puts them all at a bite risk.
