In the beginning there was Bob. And 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 and lots of gorgeous
girls. And all of this, he created in just six days. Six days!
Congratulations Bob! No wonder Earth is such a mess. Imagine that God is
a typical teenage boy. He is lazy, careless, self-obsessed, sex-mad -
and about to meet Lucy, the most beautiful girl on earth. Unfortunately,
whenever Bob falls in love, disaster follows. Let us pray that Bob does
not fall in love with Lucy.
This is Meg Rosoff at her ingenious best; a cracking story full of brilliant humour and teen angst. In fact it's so good we reckon you'll read it in a sitting.
Francesca Dow, MD of Puffin Books: "We are incredibly proud of every book we publish at Puffin. But we want to share with you a handful of our exciting standalone novels. Gathered together under the umbrella of 'Fiction Puffin Loves' these are books we feel expecially passionate about. Here, you won't find the big bestselling series, but you are guaranteed writing at its very best - by debut writers as well as award-winners such as Melvin Burgess and Meg Rosoff. This is Fiction Puffin Loves."
'Masterful describes the whole of this narrative. Rosoff not only knows how to tell a tale, she is unashamed of telling it. Write Away Praise for What I Was: Already a classic.' Sunday Times
Praise for What I Was:
'a book which will completely startle you in an awesomely crazy way with an utterly amazing flair.' Olivia, www.spinebreakers.co.uk
