Great book. I couldn't put it down. It's a story about an autistic boy who is trying to solve the murder of his neighbor's dog. He is incredibly gifted mathematically, and also very frustrating to his father. His autism requires him to perform many "rituals". Everything must be a certain way (e.g. furniture cannot be moved around, food cannot be yellow, etc.). Well written book. It feels as though this person is very real. Very surprising who in fact the murderer is!
