I added this to my wishlist after reading Nymeth’s amazing review of it. The premise is intriguing and it sounds like Meg Rosoff is touching the subject in an original way. Cute cover, too!

There is no Dog by Meg Rosoff

Summary from Goodreads :

Meet your unforgettable protagonist: God, who, as it turns out, is a 19-year-old boy living in the present-day and sharing an apartment with his long-suffering fifty-something personal assistant. Unfortunately for the planet, God is lazy and, frankly, hopeless. He created all of the world’s species in six days because he couldn’t summon the energy to work for longer. He gets Africa and America mixed up. And his beleagured assistant has his work cut out for him when God creates a near-apolcalyptic flood, having fallen asleep without turning the bath off. There is No Dog is a darkly funny novel from one of our most delightfully unpredictable writers.
