Description

'A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' meets 'Gulliver's Travels' with cavepeople. Not all journeys begin with a map. Some begin with a thought. Oog is just like any other teenager. Except, Oog, who lived thousands of years ago, has not had a single thought in his entire life. Ever. Until today. When his new-found powers of thought fail him, and he accidentally causes his village's fire to go out, Oog will have to learn to navigate the complex world of thinking as he goes in search of fire to save his people. Part philosophical satire, part bedtime story for adults and teens, Oog's journey will make you laugh and warm your heart. For anyone who's ever felt lost, overthought everything, or wondered if the world makes sense...meet Oog. An imaginative, emotionally resonant, and deeply intelligent, satirical coming-of-age novel for readers who want their fiction to leave them thinking-and feeling. It's a story for dreamers, philosophers, introverts, and deep-feelers. For readers of Monty Python, Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, John Green.
