Brought up under a very strict regime, Thomas observes all the things that are going around him – much of it, no one else sees. And he records it all in his secret notebook, writing down his hopes and fears especially his anguish about his violent father. Then Thomas forges a wonderful friendship and begins to see the world in a new way. Touchingly written, this is beautiful book that sensitively explores the complexities of adolescence.
