Synopsis
Teenager Jason Bock, a self-proclaimed "agnostic-going-on-atheist," turns his back on his parents' Catholicism and creates his own religion: Chutengodianism, whose god is the town's water tower. At first his fellow worshippers are few, just his friends Dan, Magda, and Shin (who as the First Keeper of the Sacred Text is responsible for writing Chutengodianism's bible). However, as more disciples join his faith, Jason begins to lose control of Chutengodianism, and he realizes that, although it may have been easy to create his own religion, it will be very hard indeed for him to control what it becomes. Winner of the 2004 National Book Award for Young People's Literature.

When sixteen-year-old Jason Bock and his friends create their own religion to worship the town's water tower, what started out as a joke begins to take on a power of its own.

Publisher's Note
When Jason decides to make a mockery of religion by starting his own faith that revolves around the worshipping of a water tower, his friends go along with the gag until "followers" begin to look to them for guidance and Jason's friends get power-hungry in their roles as founders of the new faith. Reprint.

Industry Reviews
"Jason's explorations of faith, belief, and religion, told in a compelling and imaginative voice, will leave him a solitary, ostracized prophet. Thought-provoking and unique."
Kirkus (05/01/2004)

"The book expertly captures the blend of snarky humorousness and seriousness with which young people often launch ideas--though Jason doesn't believe in the Ten Legged God per se, he's making a genuine inquiry into the nature of belief, and he's also sincerely struggling with questions about the consequences of his actions."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Deborah Stevenson (06/01/2004)
