Alone by Megan E. Freeman
4.0

“This ordinary yet significant event finds a fissure in the emotional wall I’ve built.”

One quote that sums up my emotions during this whole book. What a beautiful book, written in verse, that brings a modern day spin on many older, well loved children’s books. A story focused on survival when the world disappears and how young Maddie finds a way to conquer every devastating event in her four year journey alone with just George, her former neighbors dog. While I wish it focused some on the disappearing of people, I was overall impressed by how all consuming this story was.
