Perfect for fans of Hatchet and the I Survived series, this
harrowing middle grade debut novel-in-verse from a Pushcart
Prize–nominated poet tells the story of a young girl who wakes up
one day to find herself utterly alone in her small Colorado town.
When twelve-year-old Maddie hatches a scheme for a secret sleepover
with her two best friends, she ends up waking up to a nightmare.
She’s alone—left behind in a town that has been mysteriously
evacuated and abandoned. With no one to rely on, no power, and no
working phone lines or internet access, Maddie slowly learns to
survive on her own. Her only companions are a Rottweiler named
George and all the books she can read. After a rough start, Maddie
learns to trust her own ingenuity and invents clever ways to
survive in a place that has been deserted and forgotten. As months
pass, she escapes natural disasters, looters, and wild animals. But
Maddie’s most formidable enemy is the crushing loneliness she
faces every day. Can Maddie’s stubborn will to survive carry her
through the most frightening experience of her life?
