Jeremy and Karl and Elizabeth have known each other since the first day of kindergarten. Amy and Talis are a year younger.. Now the five are inseparable; invincible. They imagine that life will always be like this--like a television show in eternal syndication--that they will always have each other. They use the same vocabulary. They borrow each other's books and music. They share lunches, and they never say anything when Jeremy comes over and takes a shower. They all know Jeremy's father is eccentric. He's supposed to be eccentric. He's a novelist. .Kelly Link

He's supposed to be eccentric. He's a novelist. The writing style is very simple, but it carries on to the next paragraph where Amy says that her friend Talis is obsessed with Jeremy's father’s book "Alphabet." This book is very popular among young boys, but Talis doesn't like it because it uses crude language and it has some depictions of nudity which might make him feel uncomfortable.
