The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time follows Christopher, a fifteen-year-old who knows every prime number up to 7,507 and every country's capital city, yet finds the ordinary texture of human interaction baffling. When he decides to find out who killed his neighbour's dog, the neighbourhood mystery rapidly grows more complicated than he expected. What draws readers in is his absolute commitment to truth in a world that runs on half-truths — and the way his precise, logical perspective makes the familiar feel strange.
