It's the End of the World and I'm in My Bathing Suit

Description

Twelve-year-old Eddie Gordon Holloway concocts a plan to avoid chores by wearing all his clothes to minimize laundry during his school break. On the day of the Beach Bash, his mother discovers his pile of dirty laundry, forcing him to stay home and do laundry. When the power goes out mid-cycle, Eddie, in his glow-in-the-dark swim trunks, explores the neighborhood and meets other kids dealing with their own quirky situations. Together, they try to figure out why their families haven't returned, only to discover that they might be the last people left anywhere.
