Synopsis

A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' meets 'Gulliver's Travels' with cavepeople. Not all journeys begin with a map. Some begin with a thought. Oog is just like any other teenager. Except, Oog, who lived thousands of years ago, has not had a single thought in his entire life. Ever. Until today. When his new-found powers of thought fail him, and he accidentally causes his village's fire to go out, Oog will have to learn to navigate the complex world of thinking as he goes in search of fire to save his people. Part philosophical satire, part bedtime story for adults and teens, Oog's journey will make you laugh and warm your heart. For anyone who's ever felt lost, overthought everything, or wondered if the world makes sense...meet Oog. An imaginative, emotionally resonant, and deeply intelligent, satirical coming-of-age novel for readers who want their fiction to leave them thinking-and feeling. It's a story for dreamers, philosophers, introverts, and deep-feelers. For readers of Monty Python, Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, John Green.

About Len Vlahos

Len Vlahos dropped out of NYU film school in the mid-'80s to play guitar and write songs for Woofing Cookies, a punk-pop four piece—think R.E.M. meets the Ramones—that toured up and down the East Coast and had two singles and one full-length LP on Midnight Records.The band broke up in 1987, and Len followed his other passion, books. He still plays guitar and piano, and now he plays ice hockey too (though not very well). And most of all he spends time with his better half (Kristen) and their best collective work to date, their kids (Charlie and Luke) and dog (Shea).
