From the author of 'How I Live Now' comes her brilliant new novel 'There Is No Dog'. This is a story about God. But probably not any kind of God you've heard of before. He is sixteen and called Bob.
Bob doesn't care much for the world he created, so leaves Mr B to sort all that complicated stuff out like prayers, tsunami's and famine. Bob's primary interest is girls. But what happens when he falls in love with the most beautiful girl in the world (that HE created), of course they can't be together - she's a mortal.
A brilliant compendium of characters including Bob's mother Mona; a mad goddess, and Eck; Bob's pet who is the last of his species and can eat anything and everything (and does!). Despite it's recent controversy with a few Christian schools I think it's a great book, it's only fictional - at least I hope God isn't a sex mad sixteen year old!
Recommended age 16+
Published by Puffin in 2011 in hardcover and is £12.99
