The Book of Everything by Guus Kuijer
Thomas's strictly religious father rules the house with his fists and insists the family live according to the Bible. But Thomas has an escape route - he sees incredible things that no one else notices - like tropical fish swimming in the canal and frogs leaping through the letterbox. Now he's recording his observations in a notebook, The Book of Everything, where he also writes down his biggest ambition: to be happy. But will that ever be possible with Father around? Then Thomas meets Mrs Van Amersfoot, a woman full of rebellious spirit who recognises something similar in her new young friend. And in the fight against his father, Thomas's uniqueness - and the extraordinary power of his imagination - are the biggest weapons he has...
