Summer Reading: Week 7

This week I read The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon. The book is narrated by 15-year-old Christopher who loves animals, doesn't like people, and is a whiz at mathematics. He is a fan of Sherlock Holmes and decides to figure out who murdered his neighbor's dog after he is falsely accused of the crime. Although Christopher is autistic, in some ways he is better able to cope with life than his parents and others around him.
