Bookroo's summary

Coop Cooperson, the sole human at Dungeoneer Academy, faces a daunting challenge. In the magical Land of Eem, he and his diverse team must navigate a perilous gauntlet in the fungal jungle. With his future at stake, Coop wonders if he truly belongs. Can he and his friends, including Oggie the bugbear, Daz the boggart, and Mindy the imp, defy the odds and earn their Junior Dungeoneer Badges? As they confront unexpected dangers, Coop must prove his worth in a world where magic and mystery abound. Will they succeed, or will Coop's fears become reality?

From the publisher

The Last Kids on Earth gets a fantasy twist in this exciting first book in a new, highly illustrated middle grade series about the adventures of a boy who’s the only human student at an academy for future explorers. Coop Cooperson lives in the Land of Eem, a fantastical realm where many different species live together and there is always more magic to be discovered by those up to the task. The Dungeoneer Academy trains future explorers with classes like Dungeons and Mazes, Creatures and Critters, and Swords and Sorcery. Coop believes in the academy’s mission and the Dungeoneer’s Code, but being the only human student can make it difficult to fit in–sometimes he wonders if he really belongs. Lucky for Coop, his best friend Oggie the bugbear has his back, as do the two other members of their exploring team, Daz the boggart and Mindy the imp. They have to rely on each other more than ever as the test for their Junior Dungeoneer Badges looms closer. If Coop and his friends fail to run the final gauntlet in the fungal jungle, they will have to leave the academy. As future dungeoneers, they know to expect the unexpected, but nothing could prepare them for the adventure in store.
