“This is not one of those cute talking dog books these dogs are subtle. . There is nothing extraneous about this book, from the choice of words to the supporting characters each and every one feels needed.” You almost hear it while reading, as though the tale is being told to us. There is a lyrical cadence to Rosoff’s prose.

Rosoff’s novel is for anyone wondering what to be when they grow up, and how on earth to get there. Could a border collie and a cocker spaniel hold the key to life, the universe, and everything? Their sly maneuvering on daily walks and visits to the alluring vet suggest that human emotional intelligence may not be top dog after all.Ī funny, wise romantic comedy set in Manhattan, Jonathan Unleashed is a story of tangled relationships, friendships, and dogs. When his brother asks him to look after his dogs, Jonathan's world view begins to shift. He doesn’t remember life being this confusing, back before everyone expected him to act like a grown-up.

His girlfriend wants to marry someone just like him-only richer and with a different sense of humor. Jonathan Trefoil’s boss is unhinged, his relationship baffling, and his apartment just the wrong side of legal. National Book Award finalist and bestselling author Meg Rosoff's charming, hilarious new novel about a young New Yorker’s search for happiness and the two dogs who help him find it-the perfect summer read “A charming comedy on love, friendship, and the surprising influence of man’s best friend.” - Harper’s Bazaar

“ comic masterpiece.” - People magazine’s “Book of the Week”
