The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon (Johnathan Cape, 2003)
by Justin, 11, Johannesburg
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is about a boy called Christopher Boone who suffers from Asperger's syndrome which means he struggles with people's emotions and is very smart. He decides to write a book which is the story about him trying to find out who killed his neighbour's dog. He also lives with his father after his mom 'dies' from cancer.
It is a truly beautiful book and is my favourite because I know how he feels because I also suffer from Asperger's and ADD. It has been made into a play and is a must read.
