The One Left Behind by Willo Davis Roberts ISBN: 978-0-545-03639-9 ©2006 139 pages

Summary: Mandy is our main character and has been left alone for the weekend at home (not on purpose - everyone thought she was going with someone else, and she never corrected them). She is nervous, yet excited at the thought of having the house to herself all weekend. Her thoughts immediately flash back to her and her sister and all of the good times they had. She wishes badly that her sister were there with her, but she passed away recently (they were twins). Mandy’s “excitement” is short-lived when she realizes someone has been in the house. When she discovers a wrecked car close to her house, small footprints in the sand on the beach near her house, missing food, and two guys looking for someone, she knows she isn’t “alone” and should be scared. Should she call someone or just wait it out?

This isn’t a fabulous book, but if you’re looking for a short, simple read, you may enjoy it.
