Max Brallier answered Tommy's question: How old are the last kids on earth in the present books? I know there 13 but did they age? If so when did they celebrate it? They celebrate Quint's birthday in the 1st book. It's been probably 18 months since the start of the first book. So they'd be about 14 now.

Quotes by Max Brallier (?)

“But like I tell him, that doesn’t explain the feeling in my gut. He tells me the feeling in my gut is probably just gas and I sock him on the arm.”

“Now, I realize in terms of, like, all-time ultimate heroic quests, “writing a book” doesn’t exactly rank up there with Frodo carrying the ring to Mount Doom, but whatever.”
