It Just Happened

About the book:

Billy Burton is a strange boy. Or, at least, that's what everyone tells him. He lives inside his head; thinking and thinking and dreaming and scheming. But this year1973his twelfth year on earth, is like no other. He is constantly under threat from the school psychopath; his dad is under investigation by the Senate Select Committee on Watergate; the odd girl across the street has taken a keen interest in Billy (and him, in her); Bob Woodward is after his dad (unless Billy can stop him); his dog (Mr. Pooch) is out of control and cannot be found; Billy has come into possession of a book entitled "The Happy Hooker" (and intends to decipher the meaning of all things "sexy"); he realizes his new (and only) friend is a juvenile delinquent; and he has somehow come to know the iconoclastic physicist, Richard Feynman (Nobel Prize winner), whose motto is, "Damn the torpedoes!"which has become Billy's motto too.

1973 is going to be a wild ride for one Billy Burton.
