As mentioned above, I wasn't keen on [[The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time by Mark Haddon]] but lots of people - including Jill here at the Bookbag - loved it, so it's definitely worth taking a look for yourself. It's also well worth reading the wonderful [[To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee]] to see how it helped to inspire this book, and to meet Scout, another superb narrator.
