Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
Overview & Summary
Christopher Boone, a fifteen-year-old with an exceptional gift for mathematics and a mind that processes the world very differently from those around him, sets out to solve the mystery of who killed his neighbor's dog, a investigation that gradually uncovers painful secrets about his own family. Mark Haddon's novel, narrated entirely in Christopher's precise, literal voice, offers an unusually intimate window into neurodivergent thinking.
