The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

Told from the perspective of Christopher, a teenaged boy with a severe social disability, this adventure leads him outside his comfort zone and everything he knows as he tries to sleuth out who murdered his neighbor's dog, Wellington. With the help of his teacher, Siobhan, he begins to write a book about his detective work, until his father discovers what Christopher is doing and commands him to keep his nose out of other people's business. Christopher never breaks a promise, but if he doesn't find out who killed Wellington, then who will? And that's not the only thing Christopher will dig up by the time he's concluded his book.
