kayscr33klibrarian 's review for:
Alone
by Megan E. Freeman
This book immediately caught my eye when it was donated to my school library. I wasn't in a place to read it when it came, but each time I saw it circulating I remembered I wanted to read it. I was so excited to see it as a recommended prompt for the reading challenge I am doing this year.
This is a novel in verse about a girl named Maddie who wakes up after sneakily sleeping alone at her grandparent's empty apartment and discovers her entire town has been evacuated overnight and she is alone. Her only companion is her neighbor's rottweiler, George.
I was fascinated seeing how she managed to survive and her thought process. I loved her nod to libraries and books and how what she read helped her to survive. It was a satisfying read and a book I am going to enjoy suggesting to students, though many have managed to find it themselves already.
