Running in Flip Flops from the End of the World

By: Justin A. Reynolds

Narrated by: Nile Bullock

When twelve-year-old Eddie Gordon Holloway and his friends are left home from Beach Bash, aka the greatest party of the year, only to realize that everyone in town has disappeared without a trace, they do what any smart, responsible kids would do . . . have the best day ever!

No parental supervision sounds fun for a while, but forever is a long time. And soon the gang starts to notice strange things happening around town, and they're only getting stranger. They have to figure out what happened to their families. It seems like getting to the beach will answer all their questions . . . but the only problem is that some mysterious force seems determined to prevent them from making it there.

Eddie knows that this is a clear sign—obviously they should be focused on having as much fun as possible for as long as possible. But everyone deals with the fear differently, and soon the friendships begin to fracture. Can Eddie find a way to get all his friends on the same page? And will they ever make it to the beach?

VERY Entertaining!

My 12 yr old read this and he said he can relate to a lot of things Eddie is saying. He also hyped it up so much I started reading it! And I could you not, I sat on my couch for the whole 6 hrs and listened to the whole book in one sitting. I also have the physical book so I can read along. This book gets my approval. So if you are looking for a book for Your Teen/Pre-teen this is the right book for them!
