An LGBTQ YA sci-fi romp (Kirkus), The Last 8 is a thrilling high-stakes survival story about the last eight teenagers left on Earth after aliens attack, praised as An extravaganza of nonstop action (School Library Journal)
Extinction was just the beginning...
Clover Martinez has always been a survivor, which is the reason she isn't among the dead when aliens invade and destroy Earth as she knows it.
Clover is convinced she's the only one left until she hears a voice on the radio urging her to go to the former Area 51. When she arrives, she's greeted by a band of misfits who call themselves The Last Teenagers on Earth.
Only they aren't the ragtag group of heroes Clover was expecting. The seven strangers seem more interested in pretending the world didn't end than fighting back, and Clover starts to wonder if she was better off alone. But when she finds a hidden spaceship within the walls of the compound, she doesn't know what to believe...or who to trust.
The Last 8 is perfect for readers looking for:
- heart-pounding young adult survival books
- tween and teen LGBTQ books
- sci-fi Latinx teen books
- expert world-building and
- relatable, funny, diverse characters
