The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

Autism perspective unravels family mystery.

If you're open to a novel that offers a fresh perspective on the world, this one's a gem. The story is told through the eyes of a boy with Asperger's, which makes for a unique narrative style that's both engaging and enlightening. It's not just a mystery about a dog; it's a journey into the mind of someone who sees the world quite differently. You might find yourself both challenged and charmed by Christopher's way of dissecting the world around him.

Description

Christopher is 15 and lives in Swindon with his father. He has Asperger's syndrome, a form of autism. He is obsessed with maths, science, and Sherlock Holmes but finds it hard to understand other people. When he discovers a dead dog on a neighbour's lawn, he decides to solve the mystery and write a detective thriller about it. As in all good detective stories, however, the more he unearths, the deeper the mystery gets - for both Christopher and the rest of his family.
