This book was okay for me, i lost interest because same things were repeating in every chapter i was forced to read it so i can finish it to the end .
dang, this was a hard read, and so depressing, beautiful and just real. i liked the poetry and I loved the MC, I was always there for her. it felt like a very realistic display of being all alone in this place as a kid without electricity and water plumbing... God I don't know what to feel about the ending... it;s just so... deep
i won't lie; i had a hard time getting into this book. i'm not the biggest fan of books in verse so i found that i read a few pages and then took a huge break. i knew i needed to give it a chance though, so i picked it up again. and wow, i could not put it down. it was emotionally driven and had me on the edge of my seat. i just wanted to know what would happen next to the main character. it really had me by the heartstrings. i highly recommend this book!
Maddie is alone. In the confusion of the moment amid an evacuation of her town, Maddie has been left behind. It is up to Maddie to find safe drinking water, food, and protection from the elements while she waits for the return of her parents and family.
What kid wouldn't love reading about a kid trying to survive on her own? It's a story filled with action and adventure, and the free verse format makes the four hundred pages of the book turn quickly.
