LOST IN THE FUTURE COLLECTION
The Complete Middle-Grade Sci-Fi Adventure Trilogy Collects a Time-Bending Journey Through Survival, Friendship, and a World Reclaimed by Nature
Hot on the heels of The Lost in the Future Collection Vol. 1 winning the 2026 Prix Albertine Jeunesse, Papercutz, the kids imprint of Mad Cave Studios, collects the complete Lost in the Future trilogy in one exciting volume!
From the GenPet creative team of writer Damián and illustrator Àlex Fuentes, with lettering by Charles Pritchett and Cromatik LTD. and translation by Tom Imber, LOST IN THE FUTURE COLLECTION drops readers into a future where humanity has nearly vanished, nature has reclaimed the world, and survival means learning who to trust.
A school field trip to an ancient castle goes terribly wrong for a group of friends, when a dangerous storm erupts. As they are about to leave the castle, the four friends are cornered by their arch nemesis— the class bully, who tries to pull one of his usual cruel pranks. Instead, they all get the scare of their lives when they fall down a tunnel that transports them into the future: a future where mankind has nearly disappeared from the face of the earth, and where nature has taken control. The friends will have to face up to this hostile new world— as well as their nemesis, who must come to terms with his own trauma— if they are to work together and have any chance of making it back home…
