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.
