Pete Hautman: godless

Bored with his mundane summer life in his small town, Jason Bock questions his religion and the principles that drive blind, uneducated following. He creates a religion centered around the town’s water tower, and recruits his best friend in his endeavor. Soon Jason’s “followers” are more invested than he ever anticipated, and things begin to spin out of control, especially for his best friend Shin who becomes more and more unstable as the story progresses. A glimpse into a small-town’s reaction to an outside-the-box thinking intelligent teen who was merely looking to use his imagination to pass his summer more quickly, and things get completely out of control.
