A Boy and His Dog at the End of the World

Reading List Popular Reading Fun Reads

Overview & Summary

Decades after a global collapse, Griz lives an isolated life with his family and his beloved dogs on a remote Scottish island, largely cut off from the ruined world beyond. When a stranger steals one of his dogs, Griz sets out on a perilous journey across the mainland to get her back, encountering the scattered remnants of civilization and its dangers along the way. C. A. Fletcher's novel is a quiet, character-driven post-apocalyptic survival story built around love and loyalty rather than action-movie spectacle.
