The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

Every country in the globe, together with its capital, is known to Christopher John Francis Boone, who also knows every prime number up to 7,057. He is good with animals, but he doesn't understand human emotions. He is not tolerant of being touched. And yellow is a color he hates. This unlikely tale of Christopher's investigation into the unexplained death of a neighborhood dog is one of the most intriguing, out-of-the-ordinary, and highly acclaimed books of the last several years.
