| When the beautiful Lucy prays to fall in love, God, taking the form of an irresponsible youth named Bob, chooses to answer her prayer personally, to the dismay of this assistant, Mr. B who must try to clean up the resulting catastrophes. |
Annotation:
When a lecherous teenage boy is in charge of Earth--it was won in a poker game by his mother--things are bound to go badly. God, known as Bob, is a terrible world custodian--this 19-year-old would rather dream of sex with the fetching human zookeeper Lucy than care for the plane. After a brief explosion of activity in six short days of planet-building, Bob loses energy, and even humorless assistant Mr B can't rouse him. Bob's emotions radically change the weather, creating chaos that promises to end badly. But can love save the day? Philosophy, satire, and teen angst make for a winning combination. Meg Rosoff is the author of Printz Award-winner HOW I LIVE NOW.

Praise
"Irreverent and funny, this book is sure to put off those concerned about blasphemous ideas showing up in teen literature, but it earns its place among the sharpest-witted tours de force of recent memory." (starred review)

"Meg Rosoff has written several oddball and utterly compelling young-adult novels, and THERE IS NO DOG is her best yet, for it is laugh-out-loud hilarious."
