About this product

Product Information

Christopher is 15 and lives in Swindon with his father. He has Asperger's Syndrome, a form of autism. He is obsessed with maths, science and Sherlock Holmes but finds it hard to understand other people. When he discovers a dead dog on a neighbour's lawn he decides to solve the mystery and write a detective thriller about it. As in all good detective stories, however, the more he unearths, the deeper the mystery gets - for both Christopher and the rest of his family.

  • Unusual story of an autistic boy and his quest to find who murdered the neighbours' dog.

    I assumed this was a children's book as it's a children's story told through the eyes of an autistic child. It gives you a good idea as to how autistic children view the world and how differently they interpret every day sayings and figures of speech and as such is quite an eye opener to their world. There's a deal of swearing which is fine but not a story to necessarily read to primary aged children. Not sure if there's a children's version. A book to help adults and fellow children understand the complex thought processes of an autistic child.
