*SIGNED BOOKPLATE

Life after the zombie apocalypse is pretty good for 13-year-old Jack Sullivan: he lives in a mind-clobberingly cool tree fort with his best friends, speeds through town playing Real-LifeMario Kart, has a crew of monster buddies, battles zombies on the regular, and generally treats life like its a videogame!

But then Jacks friends make a startling discovery: they maynotbe the last kids on earth, after all. This is great news for everyone except Jack. Once theyve found other humans, his friends wont stick around for long! Jacks only hope for keeping things the way they are is to prove that everything here isperfect, life iscrazy fun, and nothing else could beanybetter.

One problem: its hard convincing his friends that everything is great when theyre being hunted by a monstrous Nightmare Kingandan ancient evil who wont rest until Earth has been devoured. Crud! Maybe life after the monster apocalypse is more complicated than Jack thought
