About this ebook

In a world where aliens have conquered Earth, the kids they left behind may be humanity's last hope.

Three years ago, aliens invaded Earth and abducted everyone they deemed useful. The only ones spared were those too young, too old, or too "disabled" to be of value. Living on Earth under the aliens' harsh authoritarian rule, humanity's rejects do their best to survive. Their captors never considered them a threat—until now.

Twins Sam and Wyatt are ready to chuck their labels and start a revolution. It's time for the kids last picked to step into the game.

Last Pick is the first volume of Jason Walz's dystopian graphic novel trilogy. With a cast of unlikely heroes, including characters with disabilities like autism and Asperger's, this sci-fi adventure delivers a powerful message of disability advocacy. Perfect for fans of thrilling YA graphic novels with diverse protagonists.
