Listen up, folks! Brace yourselves for a wild ride that takes you straight into the melodramatic vortex of middle school. Stacy Mcanulty, the brilliant mastermind behind The Miscalculations of Lightning Girl, is back with another gem. This time, she delves into the tumultuous world of teenage angst and impending doom in an extraordinary novel.
Our protagonist, Eleanor Dross, has a knack for survival, all thanks to her grandpa, who fancies himself a bit of an apocalypse expert. With a hidden stash of freeze-dried food and supplies, Eleanor is confident that she and her family will be ready to tackle any disaster that comes their way. As for her clueless classmates? Well, they'll have to fend for themselves!
However, when Eleanor stumbles upon an article predicting an apocalyptic asteroid collision in April, she realizes that she must protect the one person she truly cares about: her best friend Mack. Mack and Eleanor are two peas in a pod, despite their vastly different personalities. While Mack is all smiles and rainbows, Eleanor is the queen of eye-rolls. Together, they vow to survive the impending end of the world, unless, of course, fate has other plans and sends Mack away to a school for the blind.
Yet, it's nearly impossible to keep a secret as earth-shattering as an asteroid strike to oneself, especially during a chaotic lunchtime. Soon enough, Eleanor finds herself at the helm of a covert club, dubbed the End of the World Club. But, weirdly enough, the preparations for TEOTWAWKI (that's the End of the World as We Know It, for those not in the know) turn out to be oddly enjoyable. Little does Eleanor know, life has a way of hurling unexpected curveballs that no amount of prepping can guard against. Change is about to bulldoze its way into Eleanor's world, whether she likes it or not.
