This week I started a new book called Last Kids on Earth and the Nightmare King. So far Jack and his friends are now living in the parking lot of Joe’s Pizza and inside of Joe’s pizza is a bunch of monsters who are now allies with the humans. And since there are no rules in the Apocalypse they decided to go go-carting. Jack went out real quick but when they got by the fire station they heard humans talking. There were zombies to get past but when they did they discovered that the noise was coming from the radio. Then they heard a bad noise coming from the roof. When they went up to look for it they saw a giant winged wretch. It scared the pants off of Jack and put him in a daze. We will find out what happens next week.
I finished Last Kids on Earth and the Nightmare King so this is what happened in the rest of the book.
The Kids had discovered a radio in the old firehouse that proved there were other humans alive. But Jack worried about losing his friends if they were reunited with their families. Jack is an orphan and June, Quint and Dirk and the Monsters are his family now so he doesn’t want that to change. He decides to make living in the post Apocalypse the most fun so the kids will never want to leave. He even takes them to a Fun Park where they get to ride all the rides for free.
They need an antenna for the radio so they go to Big Al’s Junk Palace to see if they can get one. They are climbing a pile of junk when they discover it is really a sleeping Kraken monster that they name the Scrapken. Fortunately they get an antenna before he chases them out.
Meanwhile Rezzoch, the Evil Devourer is visiting Jack in his dreams showing him what the world would be like if Jack was King and could force his friends to stay. And Rezzoch shows him if Jack does not obey him everyone will be destroyed. Rezzoch is coming to Earth through the King Wretch.
At the amusement park, Jack is attacked by the King Wretch and June, Quint and Dirk save him but they drop the radio. Jack feels bad that the radio is broken but they tell him saving him was more important. They have to get back to town and they have to fight a bunch of wretches on the way. Rezzoch tries to get Jack on his side but Jack says no. Jack is the defender of his friends and he does not want to be their king and will not accept everyone being destroyed. Jack tricks the King Wretch to go to Big Al’s and the Scrapken destroys the King Wretch for waking it up. Rezzoch is destroyed but not forever. He’ll be back.
