Christopher is autistic. His view of the world is not one with which most people are familiar. So when his neighbor's dog is killed and Christopher is found with it, suspicion falls on him. He sets out to solve the mystery and prove his innocence.
You will find that some reviewers describe this book as funny. I didn't find it to be funny. I found it to be terribly sad. There is just so much of life that Christopher misses out on, it's heartbreaking. True, he does solve the mystery of the dog's death and the mystery of his parent's failed marriage. But does he understand why the dog died and why his parents no longer live together?
This book is written from the autistic point of view and is really amazing. It is well worth reading.
