The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is a murder mystery novel like no other. The detective, and narrator, is Christopher Boone. Christopher is fifteen and has Asperger's Syndrome. He knows a very great deal about maths and very little about human beings. He loves lists, patterns and the truth. He hates the colours yellow and brown and being touched. He has never gone further than the end of the road on his own, but when he finds a neighbour's dog murdered he sets out on a terrifying journey which will turn his whole world upside down.' Note from the Librarian: This novel’s main character has Asperger’s, but the author has said that he did not research the subject before writing. Some autistic people feel that it may reinforce stereotypes. However, it is generally considered a good story that breaks conventions.
