My name's Griz.
I've never been to school, I've never had friends, in my whole life I've notmet enough people to play a game of football. My parents told me how crowdedthe world used to be, before all the people went away, but we were neverlonely 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 likedhim - until I woke to find he had stolen my dog. So I chased him out into theruins of the world.
I just want to get my dog back, but I found more than I ever imagined waspossible. More about how the world ended. More about what my family's realstory 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, thefierce love of some very good dogs'
Kirkus (starred review)
'A story that is as heart-warming as it is heart-breaking'
