What a wild ride! Seventeen-year-old Stella is at the mall with her sister when an explosion turns their lives upside down. When Stella wakes up in an unknown facility, that’s when the real nightmare and the suspense begin. Will she survive her 40-day stay?
This story had me hooked from start to finish. It tugged at my emotions and kept me turning the pages. To my surprise, the author was only thirteen when she wrote it—an impressive accomplishment.

Amazing Debut
40 Days had me hooked from the first few pages. What a great, fast-paced read! The writing is sophisticated with a plot that keeps you wanting more, and characters who are well-developed, likable, hatable, relatable... all of it!
Kudos to DeVivo on her stellar (Stella!) debut! She is definitely an author to keep your eye on. If she's THIS good at 13, the literary world needs to look out!

Considering how Morgan is only 15 years old, I thought this book had an interesting plot line, and I loved how she kept the flow of the story with the "Left foot, right foot" mantra throughout the book.
