The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time


by Mark Haddon
240-ish pages
Time to read: about 5 hours, straight through

Christopher, an Autistic 15-year-old who is brilliant at math but horrible at social interaction, finds his neighbor's dog dead and sets out to solve the mystery of who killed it. Along the way, he finds out more about his parents and himself than the dog. A surprisingly funny book (even though there are definitely sad parts) and a really great read.

I so want to read this book! When I'm done with all the other books I'm supposed to read, this is a must!
