The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is by Mark Haddon. An absolute must read! Christopher is an autistic child who decides he is going to solve the mystery surrounding the death of the neighbor's poodle. Written from Christopher's point of view the tale is funny, poignant, and extremely heart-rending. You will laugh and cry as Christopher struggles to understand the world he lives in and as the world tries to understand Christopher. A wonderfully touching book!

Ratings: 9th grade - 10 out of 10 - P (profanity) - AC (mature thematic content).
