About this book

The highly anticipated follow-up to the Newbery Award-winner The Eyes & the Impossible as half-dog, half-coyote, all hero Johannes ventures into the wild, where new friends and new adventure await.

Johannes has always lived in an urban park by the sea. It’s been a good life, a safe life. Yet when a goat named Helene invites Johannes and his friend, a seagull named Bertrand, to join her on an outbound ship (full of goats; long story), he can’t resist the pull of the unknown.

The journey brings them to a strange wilderness teeming with wolves, eagles, lynx, and bears—all eager to make a meal of the new arrivals. Meanwhile, the prey have retreated deep within the woods. But they wield a powerful weapon that could challenge the natural order, and it sparks a burning question: Is the natural order the right order? Can it be upended by the most vulnerable?

With singular humor, a thrilling pace, and wildly lyrical writing, Dave Eggers’s new novel about the exuberant Johannes will captivate readers of all ages.
