THE MOST POWERFUL STORY YOU'LL READ THIS YEAR.

'Epic in scope, enthralling, and full of human warmth'
M. R. Carey, author of The Girl with all the Gifts

'You'll remember A Boy and His Dog at the End of the World long after you finish reading'
Peng Shepherd, author of The Book Of M

'Truly engrossing . . . brings hope and humanity to a cold and scary world'
Keith Stuart, author of A Boy Made of Blocks

'I promise you're going to love it'
Louisa Morgan, author of A Secret History of Witches

My name's Griz. I've never been to school, I've never had friends, 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, before all the people went away, but we were never lonely on our remote island. We had each other, and our dogs.

Then the thief came.

He told stories of the deserted towns and cities beyond our horizons. I liked him - until I woke to find he had stolen my dog. So I chased him out into the ruins of the world.

I just want to get my dog back, but I found more than I ever imagined was possible. More about how the world ended. More about what my family's real story is. More about what really matters.

'This un-put-down-able 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 (starred review)

'A story that is as heart-warming as it is heart-breaking'
Fantasy Hive

A Boy and his Dog at the End of the World is the most moving story you'll read this year. Perfect for readers of Life of Pi, The Girl with all the Gifts or Station Eleven - Griz's tale mixes sadness and hope in one unforgettable character's quest amid the remnants of our fragile civilisation.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Man stole my dog. I went after him.

Bad things happened. I can never go home.



Griz is a boy who has never met enough people in his life to play a game of football.



He's heard about football. And schools, and friends. His parents have told him what the world used to be like, before all the people went away. But Griz isn't lonely - he's got his family, and his beloved dog.



One day, a stranger visits, to trade with his father. But the man leaves in the middle of the night, taking the boy's dog. As Griz chases the stranger out into a world devoid of people - a world without us, he discovers there may be more to both to the history of how the world ended, and what his family's real story is. He begins his hunt searching for a stolen dog, but finds himself on the trail of something bigger and more personally important - the truth.



Reminiscent of The Girl with all the Gifts and Station Eleven - C. A. Fletcher's A Boy and his Dog at the End of the World reads like a poignant letter from the future to the present.
