Alone by Megan E. Freeman is a survival novel-in-verse about Maddie, a girl who wakes up after a secret sleepover to discover that her entire town has been evacuated and she has been left behind. With no one around, limited supplies, and only a dog named George for company, Maddie must learn how to survive on her own while holding on to hope.
The book blends survival, loneliness, courage, resilience, problem-solving, friendship, and emotional growth. It has that “one kid, one empty town, and a thousand quiet fears” feeling. 🐕
Best fit: Readers ages 10–14, especially kids who enjoy survival stories, verse novels, realistic suspense, strong female characters, animal companions, and emotional page-turners.
Content note: Includes isolation, fear, danger, injury, death references, survival stress, and emotional loneliness, but it is written for middle grade readers.
