A Boy and His Dog at the End of the World: A Novel [B2332]

2020 PB in Gift-Worthy condition. "This unputdownable 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 Reviews. When a beloved family dog is stolen, her owner sets out on a life-changing journey through the ruins of our world to bring her back in this fiercely compelling tale of survival, courage, and hope.

My name's Griz. My childhood wasn't like yours. I've never had friends, and 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, but we were never lonely on our remote island. We had each other, and our dogs. Then the thief came. There may be no law left except what you make of it. But if you steal my dog, you can at least expect me to come after you. Because if we aren't loyal to the things we love, what's the point? "Fletcher's narrative...has a propulsive and engaging rhythm and should please fans of postapocalyptic dystopias, young adult and adult alike."-Booklist.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: ""; "Loved this story of strength and determination. Loved Griz and some of the other characters. Loved the twists and turns. Ending felt a little rushed but finished off well.";

"So unexpected and so gently done. It was a unique way to envision how the world might end. And it was a painful although beautiful coming-of-age story. Amazing!"; "This book surprised me in so many ways. It was moving and suspenseful and I found myself so lost in the imagery and the story that it felt like I was watching a movie. The devotion and devastation in this book were enthralling, and I will think about it for a long time."
