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 everyoneโs a werewolf, itโs hard to spot the monsterโฆ
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 thatโs the whole worldโs 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 whatโs 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 theyโre being followed.
Maybe thereโs a reason no one ever seems to leave Tremorgladeโฆand itโs up to Sel and his friends to figure out the truth someone doesnโt want them to know before another full moon puts them all at a bite risk.
