"A warning to the wise: When the apocalypse comes, please put on a pair of pants. Eddie’s perfect plan to do his laundry only once during the entire summer backfires magnificently when his mom bans him from Beach Bash until he finishes a massive pile. With only a swimsuit to wear, Eddie and other left-behind friends discover they might be the only kids who’ve survived a possible apocalypse. Hilarity is cranked up to high, and Justin Reynolds takes some magnificent big swings with this often surreal and consistently joke-dense paean to kids, summer and the end times. (For ages 8 to 12)"
