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.

Her only companions are a Rottweiler named George and all the books she can read. 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. As months pass, she escapes natural disasters, looters, and wild animals. But Maddie's most formidable enemy is the crushing loneliness she faces every day. Can Maddie's stubborn will to survive carry her through the most frightening experience of her life?

I loved this! I tend to love survival stories (humans against the elements), I love dogs, and I'm really intrigued by novels told in verse (though I wish this had an audio, I really like to hear poetry). In middle grade, there tends to be some suspension of disbelief as an adult that kids would really be doing stuff like this on their own, that I am positive I didn't notice as a kid myself - like what kind of situation led to all the adults and teens abandoning their cell phones en masse? I could see why they left suitcases and stuff in an attempt, probably, to get more people onto transport and less stuff, but cell phones are small and HUGE lifelines to those being split up into different transports, and there was clearly still services/towers. After that it was very thrilling as our protagonist finds the neighbor's dog, goes searching for food and supplies, raids the library to learn some survival tricks, and finds out that some humans are worse than being alone.
