Alone book freeman7/8/2023 ![]() ![]() There were times when I wanted to find out more about her parents’ divorce and whether Maddie’s aloneness was an extended metaphor for how it feels like to be switched between homes. ![]() This book is heavy, and there were times when it moved really slowly. And when I picked up this book off the shelves (totally based on its cover), I had no idea what I was in for. The only companion Maddie has is a Rottweiler.Ĭritique. When she gets up the next morning, she makes the startling discovery that her parents, their new spouses, and her siblings – not to mention the entire town – have been evacuated. But when her friends cancel, Maddie is all alone. And her friends will come to her grandparents’ house for a wonderful night. Maddie has the perfect plan for a sleepover with her friends. I feel as though we have all felt at least a little alone during the past year or so, and this book really makes readers think deeply about the serious effects of loneliness. Happy Thursday! Today I’m excited to share a hauntingly captivating middle grades book-in-verse with you this morning: Megan E. Publication Year: 2021 Grade Levels: Middle Grades ![]()
