The curious incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon (2003)

I read this a few years ago, after I purchased it in London, and this year it has been chosen as the local community reading book. I wanted to reread it after reading Haddon's A Spot of Bother. Plus my son had started reading this, but hadn't finished it - so it was a good thing to have on our trip.

Again, this was an amazing trip into Christopher's mind, a young bright mind that doesn't work like most. He is austistic and hates to be touched, has a hard time interacting with people, but once he sets his mind on going to London, he is incredible brave. At time funny, at times sad, this book just makes me feel good and hopeful for humanity.
