About the Book The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime
The novel begins with fifteen-year-old Christopher Boone discovering the murdered body of his neighbor’s dog, Wellington. Christopher, who has an unspecified behavioral condition that shares traits with Asperger's syndrome, decides to investigate the dog’s death. His logical and methodical approach to solving the mystery mirrors his love for mathematics and detective stories.
Christopher's investigation leads him to unexpected discoveries about his own family. He learns that his father, Ed, has been hiding significant secrets, including the truth about his mother's supposed death. The novel takes readers through his emotional and physical journey as he copes with these revelations and navigates the complexities of his condition.
Driven by a newfound determination and a need for independence, Christopher decides to travel to London to find his mother. The trip is fraught with challenges, from dealing with strangers to navigating public transport, all of which are monumental tasks for someone with his sensitivities. His adventure is a testament to his resilience and bravery.
