The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

by Mark Haddon
$8.90
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

Mystery-solving through an autistic lens.

Recommended because it provides a refreshing and unique perspective on a classic whodunit. Mark Haddon's first-person narrative masterfully channels the experience of a young boy struggling with Asperger's syndrome as he attempts to unravel a mystery. The result is a captivating read that provides a glimpse into a perspective seldom explored in popular literature.
