This was such a unique read. Christopher, a teenager with autism, sets out to solve the mystery of a dead dog and ends up uncovering way more than he expected. His perspective is funny, honest, and sometimes heartbreaking. The story is quirky and smart, with a great mix of mystery and emotion. A few parts felt a little slow, but overall it’s a thoughtful and memorable book.

I listened to this one on my ipod, and I know the people passing me in their cars wondered what was up with the "crazy lady laughing her head off". I think I may be a little autistic myself, because some of what Christopher said made perfect sense to me.

Interesting but a very different read. Not my usual type of read.
Sweet and weird.
