The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time


WOW! What a long book title!! The actual book was shorter than the title!

Such an interesting book. You are put in the shoes of a young autistic boy who decides that he wants to write a book. His book is called The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.

He writes of everything he sees and encounters, and all that he has to face that makes him completely frightened and uncomfortable.

He was inspired to write the book as a part of becoming a detective.

His goal - to figure out who killed Wellington (the neighbour's dog)

It really puts perspective on what a child with autism has to go through in life and how frustrating it can be at times for parents of autistic children.

Next book A Complicated Kindness
