Doom's day camp. The story eater
(Graphic Novel)

"Doom Thorax is anything but ordinary! Sure, he doesn't have tentacles, five eyes or a body made of mud like some of his friends. But he is the only one who can read. And thanks to his books, they've managed to make it all on their own in this postapocalyptic world. In fact, over these last few months their camp has actually been growing. And each of the new arrivals has had the same eerily familiar story: Their parents also left to fight some mysterious threat and never returned... Everyone fears the worst. That is, until a clue arrives on their doorstep, causing Doom to realize he and the rest of the kids are the adults' last hope. So he quickly assembles a crew of friends and new allies and ventures out into the wastelands, a place that's as wondrously bizarre as it is dangerous. With only each other--and a library's worth of books--to rely on, they'll have to avoid getting squished long enough to find the adults. But will this ragtag bunch have what it takes to go toe-to-toe with a monster that was strong enough to defeat their parents?"--Jacket flap.
