A Great Good Place for Books

GGP proudly welcome Meg Rosoff, author of What I Was, on Monday, February 13th at 7:00 p.m. She'll be reading from her new book, There Is No Dog.

In the beginning, Bob created the heavens and the earth and the beasts
of the field and the creatures of the sea, and twenty-five million other
species (including lots of cute girls). But mostly he prefers eating
junk food and leaving his dirty clothes in a heap at the side of his
bed.

Every time he falls in love, Earth erupts in natural
disasters, and it's usually Bob's beleaguered assistant, Mr. B., who is
left cleaning up the mess. So humankind is going to be very sorry indeed
that Bob ever ran into a beautiful, completely irresistible girl called
Lucy . . .

"...earns its place among the sharpest-witted tours de force of recent memory."

(Kirkus, starred review )

"Wildly inventive and laugh-out-loud funny..."

(Booklist, starred review )

"...there''s no denying that Rosoff''s writing and sense of humor are a force of nature..."

(Publishers Weekly, starred review )

"[a] cheeky and subversive fantasy fable."

(Horn Book, starred review )
