Synopsis

Meg Rosoff counts the Michael L. Printz Award, the Guardian Children's Fiction Prize, and a Carnegie Medal among her impressive accolades. Praised as a ''cheeky and subversive fantasy fable'' by Horn Book, There Is No Dog explores the question ''What if God were a teenage boy?'' Bob created the heavens and all the creatures on land and sea, but every time he falls in love, natural disasters on Earth follow. So imagine his dismay when he falls harder than ever for an irresistible girl named Lucy.
