THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME
Mark Haddon
Paperback Age 12 +
Winner Whitbread Book Of The Year and Guardian Children's Fiction Award. This book is a murder mystery novel where the detective and narrator, Christopher Boone, is fifteen and has Asperger's, a form of autism. He knows a very great deal about maths and very little about human beings. He loves lists, patterns and the truth. He has never gone further than the end of the road alone, but when he finds a neighbour's dog murdered he sets out on a terrifying journey which will turn his whole world upside down. Christopher is a brilliant creation, and Mark Haddon's depiction of his world is deeply moving, very funny and utterly convincing.
