Middle Grade Book Group discusses Last Kids on Earth on January 18

Middle Grade Book Group is an in-person group for kids between the ages of 6 and 12 who are interested in reading chapter books. Every month the facilitator will choose a chapter book whose publisher-assigned age rating is between 8 and 12.

On Saturday, January 18, from 4:30 to 5:30 pm, come to the Menlo Park Library (800 Alma St.) todiscuss this month’s book, The Last Kids on Earth by Max Brailler. Register online.

It’s the Monster Apocalypse, and thirteen-year-old Jack Sullivan is prepared to take it on. Using his treehouse as a home base, Jack joins forces with two of his surviving classmates: his friend Quint, and Dirk — a school bully. Together they make plans to take down the monster boss, Blarg, and save their school—and maybe rescue Jack’s crush, June, if she’ll let them.
