About This Book
Reach for this book when your middle-grade reader is seeking a high-octane escape that validates the power of friendship during chaotic times. While the world of the story is literally ending, the focus remains on how a found family of four kids manages their fears and relies on one another's unique strengths to face impossible odds. It is an ideal pick for children who feel like outsiders or those navigating the complexities of foster care and shifting social dynamics.

Through the lens of a zombie and monster apocalypse, the book explores profound themes of loyalty, resilience, and self-belief. It uses humor and fast-paced action to make heavy emotional concepts accessible for readers aged 8 to 12, providing a safe space to process feelings of powerlessness and the importance of teamwork.
