Author’s name: Mark Haddon
Publisher: Jonathan Cape

Book Description:
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
Syndrome. He knows a very great deal about maths and very little about human beings. He
loves lists, patterns and the truth. He hates the colours yellow and brown and being
touched. He has never gone further than the end of the road on his own, but when he finds
a neighbour's dog murdered he sets out on a terrifying journey which will turn his whole
world upside down.

Seen through the eyes of Christopher, a mathematical genius and Sherlock Holmes fan, who
also has Asperger's syndrome, this bestselling novel opens with the discovery of a murdered
dog on the neighbour's lawn. In his search to discover the identity of the killer, Christopher
uncovers some disturbing information about his own family, which throws his ordered world
into chaos, and he embarks on a journey to London to find the mother he thought was dead.

Reviews:
“I have never read anything quite like Mark Haddon’s funny and agonizingly honest book or
encountered a narrator more vivid and memorable. I advise you to buy two copies, you
won’t want to lend yours out.”

“A delightful and brilliant book. Very moving, very plausible and very funny.”

“Brilliantly empathetic. Believe the hype: a brilliant heart-warming book.”

“A remarkable book. An impressive achievable and a rewarding read.”
