<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Winner of the National Book Award. Fed up with his parents' boring religion, agnostic-going-on-atheist Jason Bock invents a new god and recruits an unlikely group of worshipers. He soon realizes that inventing a religion is a lot easier than controlling it.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Why mess around with Catholicism when you can have your own customized religion? <br> Fed up with his parents' boring old religion, agnostic-going-on-atheist Jason Bock invents a new god -- the town's water tower. He recruits an unlikely group of worshippers: his snail-farming best friend, Shin, cute-as-a-button (whatever that means) Magda Price, and the violent and unpredictable Henry Stagg. As their religion grows, it takes on a life of its own. While Jason struggles to keep the faith pure, Shin obsesses over writing their bible, and the explosive Henry schemes to make the new faith even more exciting -- and dangerous. <br> When the Chutengodians hold their first ceremony high atop the dome of the water tower, things quickly go from merely dangerous to terrifying and deadly. Jason soon realizes that inventing a religion is a lot easier than controlling it, but control it he must, before his creation destroys both his friends and himself.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Anyone who has questioned his or her religion, especially as a teenager, will respond to Jason's struggles with belief.<br> -- <i>Booklist, </i> starred review<br><br>Thought provoking and unique. <br> -- <i>Kirkus Reviews, </i> starred review<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Pete Hautman is the author of National Book Award-winning novel <i>Godless</i>, <i>Sweetblood</i>, <i>Hole in the Sky</i>, <i>Stone Cold</i>, <i>The Flinkwater Factor</i>, <i>The Forgetting Machine</i>, and <i>Mr. Was</i>, which was nominated for an Edgar Award by the Mystery Writers of America, as well as several adult novels.
