A l particularly enjoyed the themes of loss and love
in the novel. It's a mystery story and the plot is
about Christopher looking for answers, after he
finds his neighbour's dog dead in the garden. The
thing I liked most about the book was how it's
serious, but funny at the same time.
B I'd like to recommend The Curious Incident of the
Dog in the Night-Time. It was the first best-seller
by the award-winning novelist Mark Haddon.
C All in all, it's a brilliant book. I wouldn't change it.
I think anyone would enjoy it, not just children.
D The setting is Swindon and London, in the south
of England, and the main character is a boy
called Christopher. He's fifteen and he's very
good at maths, but he can't make friends easily,
because he is autistic.
