}}{{italic title}}The Last Kids on Earth is a children's illustrated novel and subsequent book series by American author Max Brallier, illustrated by Douglas Holgate, with audiobook format narrated by Robbie Daymond. Novels in the series have been recognized on Best Seller lists of both The New York Times and USA Today. This book is highly recommended for teens/pre-teens in the "middle school" demographic.[1] The series currently includes four books[2] and is being adapted into a series by Netflix.

In the initial story, a foster child and optimistic loner named Jack finds himself abandoned in a cartoonish end-of-the-world apocalypse. He thrives on freedom, junk food and video games while building a team of his classmates to fight off zombies as well as a trove of campy monsters who have also somehow appeared. The series treats its subject matter with lighthearted humor rather than adult horror.

Subsequent books continue the same comic dystopian scenario with the team of mismatched school kids facing new antagonists, new monsters and new challenges.
