Book Synopsis

Stranger Things meets The Last Kids on Earth in this science fiction graphic novel from the New York Times bestselling author of the Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales series

A sinister drive-through threatens to end the world--and three kids in a beat-up truck are humanity's only hope!

It's the night before dress rehearsal, and the school theater troupe is working late and very hungry. Eleven-year-old twins Axl and Ivan--along with their sixteen-year-old driver, Sid--volunteer to make a late-night fast-food run. At the drive-through, their tacos start to . . . move. And they don't seem friendly. Even after they get rid of the food, the world around them isn't quite right. There are strangely moving cars, buildings, and people--and they seem intent on swallowing everything in their path. Now the trio will have to use their wits, their truck, and even their windshield scraper to escape . . . before they're replaced by monstrous versions of themselves!
