Boy swallows the universe
9.99 €
The childhood of twelve-year-old Eli Bell is not what you would call ordinary.
His older brother August is a clairvoyant genius who has taken a vow of silence and communicates with the world using phrases written in the air.
His stepfather Lyle is a professional mid-level drug dealer.
His world is an Australian suburb.
And the place of his nanny and teacher is occupied by Arthur Halliday, nicknamed Houdini, a philosopher and champion in successful prison escapes.
This is the "universe" of Eli - a boy who will soon fall in love with a girl he has never seen, save his mother, enter into an unequal battle with the mysterious crime boss Titus Broz and start receiving advice from the receiver of a disconnected red phone...
