Come sopravvivere a un'apocalisse zombie. Gli ultimi ragazzi sulla Terra. Vol. 1

As part of our homeschool day I require my 8-year-old to read to me 1 - 3 chapters a day from a book of his choice. After he read one chapter of The Last Kids On Earth, he decided he wanted to read another. And after that one, he decided he wanted to read another. This went on for a couple more chap Leggi tutto

Sexist I was put off by how sexist this book is. I understand it is from the point of view of a 12 year old boy, but really, come on. We need to do a better job of teaching boys what girls are like if this is how they really think. First of all, the (only) girl character in the book doesn't even make Leggi tutto

This was a cute middle grade story and I can definitely see why so many kids love it. I would have loved it too if I read this back then!
