Thomas has a strict and violent father, who believes in an equally rigid God. Thomas has a secret: he sees things that no one else sees. Thomas has a dream: 'to become happy'. And as a slightly witchy neighbor tells him, a good start is to stop being afraid. A successful novel about the power of imagination and the strength of unity.
