Green Angel by Alice Hoffmann 116 pp.
There is a lot packed into this slim book. Fifteen year old Green stays home on the day her parents and sister go to sell produce at the market in the city across the river. A disaster destroys the city, killing Green's family and most of the city's residents and spreading a thick layer of ash over everything. With her family dead and her beloved garden destroyed, Green retreats into herself, changes her name to Ash, and struggles with her grief, guilt, and survival alone in the post-apocalyptic world that surrounds her.
