Description

The Last Kids on Earth gets a fantasy twist in this exciting first book in a new, highly illustrated middle grade series about the adventures of a boy who's the only human student at an academy for future explorers. Coop Cooperson lives in the Land of Eem, a fantastical realm where many different species live together and there is always more magic to be discovered by those up to the task. The Dungeoneer Academy trains future explorers with classes like Dungeons and Mazes, Creatures and Critters, and Swords and Sorcery. Coop believes in the academy's mission and the Dungeoneer's Code, but being the only human student can make it difficult to fit in-sometimes he wonders if he really belongs. Lucky for Coop, his best friend Oggie the bugbear has his back, as do the two other members of their exploring team, Daz the boggart and Mindy the imp. They have to rely on each other more than ever as the test for their Junior Dungeoneer Badges looms closer. If Coop and his friends fail to run the final gauntlet in the fungal jungle, they will have to leave the academy. As future dungeoneers, they know to expect the unexpected, but nothing could prepare them for the adventure in store.

Author Biography

James Parks and Ben Costa write comics, books, and games. They've been friends since the second grade, and love making stuff together. It all began in grade school, drawing superhero comics with crayons and construction paper. In high school, they spent hours making wacky homemade movies, and then as college roommates, they came up with the idea that would become Rickety Stitch and the Gelatinous Goo, their first published graphic novel series in 2017. They love fantasy, and strive to craft tales that celebrate the adventures of unlikely heroes. They grew up playing tabletop roleplaying games like Dungeons & Dragons, creating countless characters and collaborative worlds with their pals. It's a pastime that's paved the way for their creative careers, and they still play with the same friends to this day.
