The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time Reading Project

We are going to read The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon over the next weeks.

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, a form of autism. He knows a very great deal about maths and very little about human beings. He loves lists, patterns and the truth.
