I loved this book! I got this book from a program I am doing with my temple and started to read it because it was just over the number of pages I needed to finish my independent reading (It was 220 and I needed 150). This book is about a young man who has a mental disorder. He is really good at math and science, but does not like being touched and doesn't understand people very well. He frustrates his parents because he only likes to do things a very specific way. The main character's name is Christopher. He lives with his father because his father told him his mother was dead, when she really wasn't, which was absolutely horrible! But because of his disorder, Christopher was not angry about this. The original goal of this book was for Christopher to find out who killed the dog who lived next door. Christopher is very determined to find out who did it and it ends being his father. He gets really scared of his father and runs away. This book gave me a new perception on different people and that they are basically normal but they think about things differently then we do. This book reminded me of the movie Rainman because the main character of Rainman and christopher were very similar. Overall, I loved this book and would recommend this book to anyone.
