It's the End of the World and I'm in My Bathing Suit

A hilarious new middle-grade from Justin A. Reynolds that asks: What happens when five unsupervised kids face the apocalypse under outrageously silly circumstances?

Twelve-year-old Eddie Gordon Holloway has concocted his most genius plan ever to avoid chores, especially the dreaded L-A-U-N-D-R-Y. If he can wear every item of clothing in his wardrobe, summer will be halfway over before he has to do laundry!

On the day of the highly anticipated Beach Bash, Eddie ends up grounded until he can get his clothes clean. While left home alone to do his laundry, the power goes out mid-cycle. With his first load of laundry soaking wet and the rest still filthy, Eddie sets out to explore the seemingly empty neighbourhood in just his swim trunks and flip-flops.

As he meets up with other neighbourhood kids to find out what happened, they realise that their families aren't coming back anytime soon. And as night falls, the crew realises they aren't just the only people left in the neighbourhood—they might be the only people left... anywhere.
