“A hilarious postapocalyptic romp full of fun, misfits, and friendship! If you think your friends are oddballs, wait till you meet the kids at Doom’s Day Camp!” —John Patrick Green, New York Times bestselling creator of the InvestiGators series

The Last Kids on Earth meets Encanto in this funny and adventurous middle grade graphic novel set in a world where everyone has unusual abilities except for a boy named Doom . . . who just might have to save them all.

Doom Thorax is destined for greatness! Well, maybe…His dad is, after all, the fiercest apocalyptic warrior to ever walk what’s left of the earth. Unfortunately, in a world where the remaining humans (if you can still call them that) all have extraordinary abilities, Doom is painfully ordinary. In fact, the only thing even remotely special about him is that he is the one person in their whole pack who can read.

When his dad leads the adults off to battle a mysterious new threat, Doom gets left in charge of all the other kids from his camp. The only problem is he can barely take care of himself, let alone a group of weirdos like them. What’s he supposed to feed a boy made of mud? Why is the girl with telekinesis such a headache? And how can he stop his super strong little sister from turning everyone against him? Doom has ­ finally been given a chance to prove himself. But it may take a lot more than book smarts if he and the others are going to have any chance at surviving on their own.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 3-6-Doom Thorax is an average kid, living with his mountain man dad, scavenging for food, and hanging out with his annoying werewolf sister, as well as a boy made of mud, a moody mold of Jell-O, and a superintelligent ant. So maybe Doom's life is a little weird. As this postapocalyptic story begins, this oddball group is left under Doom's supervision while their adults head off to battle mysterious threats with no promise of safe return, a mildly terrifying prospect that's quickly moved past. After accidentally burning down their camp, Doom leads his friends to the remains of an elementary school he's discovered. Here, they munch on paste, play on the swings, and get into all kinds of situations that reveal their unique gifts and struggles-for instance, one of Doom's friends is a brain in a jar, who, if let loose, can create a literal brainstorm. The crew's unsupervised circumstances foster their individual talents and encourage them to work together. Hauke's illustrations are endlessly creative and colorful, but each panel feels jam-packed with activity, giving the story little room to breathe. Doom appears Black, and his team is diverse, albeit not entirely human. VERDICT Imaginative, wacky, and a bit of a nail-biter, this tale giggles in the face of danger and promises an entertaining read.-Emilia Packardα(c) Copyright 2011.

And on top of that there’s a love of books and bookishness that warms my heart.” —Ben Hatke, New York Times bestselling creator of the Zita the Spacegirl and the Mighty Jack series
 
“A mind-blowing book!” —Tom Angleberger, New York Times bestselling creator of the Origami Yoda series

Joshua Hauke has been writing and illustrating comics since 2009. His career in illustration, however, almost started even earlier (not as an artist, but rather as the paper) when his father threatened to play connect-the-dots with the freckles on his face if he didn't finish his vegetables.

And while he still doesn't love vegetables, Joshua will gladly put away a whole plate to avoid having his face scribbled on. He now safely resides in California (approximately 1,838 miles away from his father and his magic marker).

My 9-year-old son's review: I got this book at the library and read it over and over and over until my mom finally bought it for me. It's so creative. I love the style of the drawings so much. It's very cool. It's funny, it's adventurous, it's just the best. My favorite character is Weatherly. I like how his head can float up and rain whenever he wants it to. I was so sad when mom told me the second book didn't come out for months. I'm very impatient. But now it's only a month until it comes out on Halloween!

5.0 out of 5 stars Reading is a superpower!
Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2022

In a world filled with monsters and super powers, it is so refreshing to discover the person with the greatest ability, is the one who can read! DOOM, is the last person you’d expect to lead and protect a group of children while all the adults leave camp to battle monsters… especially since DOOM was the only being born without any unique or special super human ability. He may not have the ability to fly, grow 100x his size or lift up 17 school buses at once, but he does have the ability to read, educate and problem solve. Joshua Hauke’s creativity shines throughout this entire story and his artwork is so good to look at. I love his attention to detail, especially when you read the titles of the books DOOM discovers… as well as the name of the authors. Such a fun read and I cannot wait for book 2!
