It's the End of the World as I Know It | Matthew Landis

1 post | 1 read | 1 to read

Derrick is sure that doomsday is coming, and he's prepping to survive--whether his friends believe him or not--in this middle grade novel for readers of Gary Schmidt, Gordon Korman, and Jack Gantos Ever since his mother was killed in the line of duty in Iraq, Derrick has been absolutely certain that the apocalypse is coming. And he's prepared: he's got plenty of canned goods, he's fully outfitted with HAZMAT suits, and he's building himself a sturdy fallout shelter. When his neighbor Misty insists on helping with the shelter, Derrick doesn't think it's such a good idea. Misty's just had a kidney transplant, and her reaction to her brush with death is the opposite of Derrick's: where Derrick wants to hide, Misty wants to see and do everything. But as confident as Misty is, Derrick's doomsday fears just keep getting worse. And Derrick's promised apocalypse day begins with a very strange disaster, Derrick and Misty have to figure out a way to survive--especially when the end of the world as they know it looks nothing like they expected.

It's the End of the World as I Know It | Matthew Landis

pick

So many books recently have dealt with the death of a parent. This one is about a boy who throws himself into preparing for a world apocalypse while trying to ignore his mother‘s death. He has great family and friends who don‘t really know how to help him but also refuse to give up on him. Along with the serious topics there‘s also plenty of humor, and of course things work out hopefully in the end.
