Suddenly, every wish Charity has ever granted is called into question.

But when Charity fulfills a glimpse that gets Vindhya crowned homecoming queen, it ends in disaster. And she knows what they want even better than they do because she can glimpse their perfect futures. She doesn’t wear a poofy dress or go around waving a wand, but she does make sure the deepest desires of the student population at Jack London High School come true. Can Maddie’s stubborn will to survive carry her through the most frightening experience of her life?Ĭharity is a Fairy Godmother. But Maddie’s most formidable enemy is the crushing loneliness she faces every day.

As months pass, she escapes natural disasters, looters, and wild animals. 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. Her only companions are a Rottweiler named George and all the books she can read. With no one to rely on, no power, and no working phone lines or internet access, Maddie slowly learns to survive on her own. 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. Perfect for fans of Hatchet and the I Survived series, this harrowing middle grade debut novel-in-verse from a Pushcart Prize–nominated poet tells the story of a young girl who wakes up one day to find herself utterly alone in her small Colorado town.
