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. 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. She's alone--left behind in a town that has been mysteriously evacuated...

Jesse and a ragged band of survivors crawl through the wreckage of New York City. They escaped the Chasers, but the infected zombie freaks are getting bolder and stronger. So when they begin to see signs of human life, they can't believe their luck. Of course, luck can be good or bad and the enemy could be closer than your reflection in the mirror.

Ten new participants have a chance to win $500,000 as they try their best to survive in one of Earth's harshest locations. The survivalists struggle acclimating to their home while predators encircle their camps.

One survivalist rushes to prevent their shot at a million dollars from going up in smoke. Another struggles to complete their shelter in time for winter, while another must defend their territory from an unwelcome visitor.

The remaining survivalists start seeing their hard work pay off as they procure food. But as the days mount and the isolation continues, contestants start to notice the physical and mental toll of surviving arctic.

As Labrador's winter draws near, the participants lean into building their permanent shelters. As hunger persists, some participants face dire odds while others are met with rich opportunities.

While some participants continue to work on new ideas to gain calories, others hunker down to try and last as long as they can. With the struggle to procure food this late in the competition, the threat of being pulled out becomes all the more real.

Prying wildlife continue to stalk the remaining competitors, threatening their food and their safety. One participant finds a grizzly too close to home, while another is unprepared when their health takes an unexpected turn for the worse.

The mental toll of isolation begins pushing participants' psychological boundaries to their limits. One survivalist gets caught in an off-putting standoff, while the increasing emotional cost of solitude afflicts another.

As hunger rapidly sets in, the participants find themselves in a time crunch to explore their surroundings. While some are able to provide, others face the emotional and physical toll of their decisions.
