Perfect for middle-grade readers, this novel-in-verse tells a compelling story of courage, resilience, and survival. When 12-year-old Maddie sneaks off for a secret sleepover, she wakes up to an unthinkable reality—her entire Colorado town has been evacuated, and she’s been left behind. With no power, no internet, and no way to contact her family, Maddie must learn to survive on her own, relying on her wits, a loyal Rottweiler named George, and a stack of books. But as months pass and she faces natural disasters, looters, and overwhelming loneliness, Maddie discovers that the hardest battle isn’t just staying alive—it’s staying hopeful.
