After a rough start, Maddie learns to trust her own ingenuity and invents clever ways to survive in a place that has been deserted and forgotten.Īs months pass, she escapes natural disasters, looters, and wild animals.
Her only companions are a Rottweiler named George and all the books she can read.

She’s alone-left behind in a town that has been mysteriously evacuated and abandoned. When twelve-year-old Maddie hatches a scheme for a secret sleepover with her two best friends, she ends up waking up to a nightmare.
