The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon – BCK #27

This story is told by Christopher, an autistic fifteen-year-old.  He is mathematically gifted, and numbers his chapters only with prime numbers.  After being accused of murdering a neighbor’s dog, he decides to clear his name by discovering the dog’s real cause of death.  It is a challenge for Christopher to interact with people, but he perseveres, and even discovers secret information about his family.  This kit is a great choice for adult or teen groups.  Place a hold here.
