chapter one

That’s me.

Not the giant monster.

Beneath the giant monster. The kid on his back, with the splintered bat. The handsome kid, about to get eaten.

Forty-two days ago, I was regular Jack Sullivan: thirteen years old, living an uneventful life in the uninteresting town of Wakefield. I was totally not a hero, totally not a tough guy, totally not fighting giant monsters.

But look at me now. Battling a gargantuan beast on the roof of the local CVS pharmacy.

Life is crazy like that.

Right now the whole world is crazy like that Check the shattered windows - фото 4

Right now, the whole world is crazy like that. Check the shattered windows. Check the wild vines crawling up the side of the building.

All of these things are not normal.

And me I havent been normal well ever Ive always been different See - фото 5

And me? I haven’t been normal, well, ever. I’ve always been different . See, I’m an orphan – I bounced all over the country, different homes, different families, before landing in this little town of Wakefield in December.

But all that moving, it makes you tough: it makes you cool, it makes you confident, it makes you good with the girls – it makes you JACK SULLIVAN.

Oh crud!

INCOMING MONSTER FIST!!!

Yikes Almost got a monster fist to the skull there Im at CVS because I need - фото 6

Yikes.

Almost got a monster fist to the skull there.

I’m at CVS because I need an eyeglass repair kit – those little tool sets that dads buy for when their glasses break. I know, that’s a lame thing to need. But I have a walkie and that walkie is busted and to fix that walkie, I need a really really really tiny screwdriver and the only place to get a really really really tiny screwdriver is in an eyeglass repair kit.

This was supposed to be a quick, easy trip to the pharmacy. But one thing I’ve learned about life after the Monster Apocalypse: nothing’s quickand nothing’s easy.

This monster here is the foulest, most ferocious and just plain horrible thing I’ve encountered yet. He’s straight-up –

KA-SLAM!

Yikes! The monster’s massive fist pounds the roof until it cracks like thin ice. I trip, tumble back and land hard on my bony butt.

It’s time to stop being this monster’s punching bag. See, I’ve kind of been the world’s punching bag for a while and y’know – it just ain’t a whole lotta fun.
