THE MOST POWERFUL STORY YOU'LL READ THIS YEAR.
' You'll remember A Boy and His Dog at the End of the World long after you finish reading' Peng Shepherd, author of The Book Of M
'Truly engrossing . . . brings hope and humanity to a cold and scary world' Keith Stuart, author of A Boy Made of Blocks
'I promise you're going to love it' Louisa Morgan, author of A Secret History of Witches
'Epic in scope, enthralling, and full of human warmth' M. R. Carey, author of The Girl with all the Gifts
My name's Griz.
I've never been to school, I've never had friends, in my whole life I've not met enough people to play a game of football. My parents told me how crowded the world used to be, before all the people went away, but we were never lonely on our remote island. We had each other, and our dogs.
Then the thief came.
He told stories of the deserted towns and cities beyond our horizons. I liked him - until I woke to find he had stolen my dog. So I chased him out into the ruins of the world.
I just want to get my dog back, but I found more than I ever imagined was possible. More about how the world ended. More about what my family's real story is. More about what really matters.
'This un-put-down-able story has everything - a well-imagined post- apocalyptic world, great characters, incredible suspense, and, of course, the fierce love of some very good dogs'
Kirkus (starred review)
'A story that is as heart-warming as it is heart-breaking' Fantasy Hive
A Boy and his Dog at the End of the World is the most moving story you'll read this year. Perfect for readers of Life of Pi , The Girl with all the Gifts or Station Eleven - Griz's tale mixes sadness and hope in one unforgettable character's quest amid the remnants of our fragile civilisation.
Book Description
A boy from an isolated community is eager for stories of the outside world, until a stranger steals his dog, causing the boy to chase him into the unknown. Reminiscent of The Girl with all the Gifts and Station Eleven - C. A. Fletcher's A Boy and his Dog at the End of the World reads like a poignant letter from the future to the present.
