The companion novel that I didn’t know Alone needed. From the perspective of 4 very different kids who were not left behind, but made to participate in the large scale evacuation of Colorado. They all quickly become weary of their new forced reality and begin to seek the truth that they suspect is being hidden.
I love that I could anticipate parts of this book from reading Alone, but how the story unfolded was a treat of twists and turns and creative problem solving that had me impressed by the characters and thus also by the writing. The multiple POVs and their very different voices (literally if you listen to the full cast audio!) lended itself to telling such a well rounded story that flowed quickly and swept me along on a happy ride from beginning to end.
Thanks to Simon Audio and Simon Teen for a gifted copy. All opinions are my own.
