Did you know the bestselling author of the #1 New York Times bestselling “The Last Kids on Earth” series, was a kid in Pittsburgh? For the first eight years of his life, Max bounced back and forth between Boston and Pittsburgh, and is still a Steelers fan!

Max Brallier returns to Pittsburgh with “The Last Kids on Earth and the Forbidden Fortress,” the latest in “The Last Kids on Earth” series. Picking up after Quint and Dirk’s Hero Quest, the Last Kids are happily reunited—but quickly faced with a monstrous new mission.

Inside an other-dimensional fortress, the evil Thrull — alongside a vile new villain — is carrying out a sinister plan. Jack, Quint, June and Dirk must make their own plans to infiltrate the stronghold before Thrull gets any closer to completing the mysterious Tower, a structure that could ultimately spell doom for this dimension.

Max Brallier is the bestselling author of more than thirty books and games. His books and series include “The Last Kids on Earth,” “Eerie Elementary,” “Mister Shivers,” “Galactic Hot Dogs,” and “Can YOU Survive the Zombie Apocalypse?” Max lives in Los Angeles with his wife and daughter.
