About this book
Mark Haddon's 2003 novel is narrated by Christopher Boone, a fifteen-year-old with a precise, mathematical mind who investigates the murder of a neighbour's dog and inadvertently uncovers secrets about his own family. Written entirely from Christopher's perspective — without ever naming his condition, widely read as autism — it is simultaneously a mystery novel, a family drama, and an account of a mind that experiences the world very differently. Challenged in US schools for profanity, religious viewpoints, and atheism.
