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. S.J.
