The Book of Everything
By Guus Kuijería
Thomas can see things no one else can see. Tropical fish swimming in the canals. The magic of Mrs. Van Amersfoort, the Beethoven-loving witch next door. The fierce beauty of Eliza with her artificial leg. And the Lord Jesus, who tells him, "Just call me Jesus." Thomas records these visions in his "Book of Everything." They comfort him when his father beats him, when the angels weep for his mother's black eyes. And they give him the strength to finally confront his father and become what he wants to be when he grows up: "Happy."

Excerpt:
When he walked into the living room, clutching his book, Father and Mother were sitting at the table in silence.  Mother’s housekeeping book lay open in front of them.  That was where she wrote down all the things she bought and how much everything had cost.
