Left Behind: The Kids (stylized as LEFT BEHIND >THE KIDS<) is a series of young adult speculative fiction novellas based on the Left Behind series, published by Tyndale House from 1998 to 2005.[1] Written by Jerry B. Jenkins, Tim LaHaye, with uncredited contributions from Chris Fabry, The Kids follows a group of young Christians as they experience the Rapture and Great Tribulation.
The novellas contain elements of science fiction, science fantasy, utopian and dystopian fiction, mystery, and horror, woven within an evangelical narrative.
Dramatizations of the novellas were produced for Christian radio by EarFlix.[2] The series was conceived as a sequence of 48 novellas, but only forty were published.
