''The Book of Everything'' is the English translation (published 2006) of the Dutch children's novel ''Het boek van alle dingen'' by Guus Kuijer, published in 2004 by Querido. The book was awarded the Gouden Griffel literary award in 2005. ==Plot summary==
The book, set in Amsterdam, relates the tale of a nine-year-old boy named Thomas who see things no one else can, such as invisible hail that "ripped all the leaves from the trees", and tropical fish in the canal. Thomas lives in a family of four: his parents and his sister, Margot. They are not, however, a harmonious family, as their father repeatedly hits their mother, and punishes Thomas by beating him with a wooden spoon. He is a very religious man, but he fears embarrassment and is said to "not belong with people". Thomas writes down everything in his "Book of Everything", a diary which holds his thoughts.
