Mark Haddon is an English novelist and poet, best known for his novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.
At school our teacher told us about three different books, and one of those draw my attention. She said something special about the book, something which made me want to read it.
The Curious Incident is written from the perspective of a 15-year-old boy with Asperger syndrome. His name is Christopher Boone. He loves lists, patterns and the truth.
