The Last Days of Summer

By Gwenyth Johle

Cris Weaver has exactly seven days to save the world. Unfortunately, he's going to spend most of them making things worse.

Living in a massive, climate-controlled Eco-City where the weather is always perfect, Cris's biggest problem used to be staying out of trouble. That all changes when a helpful, riddling alien plant named Shrub delivers a horrifying vision: a trio of planet-destroying extraterrestrials known as The Utensils are on their way. And they do not come in peace.

Armed with wild ideas, unearned confidence, and his brilliant tech-whiz best friend, Amelia, Cris sets out to stop the apocalypse. From hacking the planetary defense grid to accidentally freezing an entire city sector, their massive sci-fi heists are as spectacular as they are spectacularly unsuccessful. The clock is ticking, the automated maintenance drones are angry, and the giant space-cutlery is getting closer.

When high-tech heroics fail, Cris and Amelia must rely on ancient artifacts, cryptic botany, and the most absurd logistical nightmare in human history. To save their home, they'll have to pull off the ultimate impossible plan-assuming they don't blow up the dome themselves first.

The Last Days of Summer is a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud sci-fi adventure perfect for fans of epic heists and cosmic absurdity. Get ready for a race against time where the fate of the Earth rests on the shoulders of a boy who is completely out of his depth.
