The curious incident of the dog in the night-time / Mark Haddon.
Fifteen-year-old Christopher has a photographic memory. He understands math. He understands science. What he can't understand are other human beings. When he finds his neighbour's dog, Wellington, lying dead on a neighbour's lawn, he decides to track down the killer and write a murder mystery novel about it. In doing so, however, he uncovers other mysteries that threaten to bring his whole world crashing down around him.
