Publisher Description

Moving, wholly involving, original, and emotionally true, You Don't Know Me is a multilayered young adult novel that presents a winning portrait of an understandably angst-ridden adolescent.

John ("My father named me after a toilet!") wrestles with the certainty that no one really knows him -- not in his miserable home, and certainly not at school. It's true that no one can guess his hidden thoughts, which are hilarious, razor-sharp observations about lust, love, tubas, algebra, everything. And then there's his home: his father ran off years ago, so he's being raised by his mother, who works long hours, and by her boyfriend, whom John calls "the man who is not and never will be my father." This man is his enemy, an abusive disciplinarian who seems to want to kill John and, in a horrible final confrontation, nearly succeeds.

So happy I found this again.

I found this book when i was about 10 years old and i always had the intention of finishing it but i never really understood it, it wasn’t until 13 years later that i realized this book was incredible; inanely relatable, funny, but also heartbreaking in some way. Absolutely love it. Cant wait to read some more from David Klass.
