The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon

This book is a comedy and drama that takes place in England. It is about a young 15 year old boy, Christopher Boone, who has autism and lives with his father. He begins writing a story after he finds out the local neighborhood dog was killed. He starts investigating the dog's death and as he goes about it his investigation takes a wrong turn. In the beginning of the story, Christopher's mother is supposedly dead, as told by his father. As he looks for clues about the dog's death, Christopher finds letters from his mother. He begins to read them and his father catches him one day. They argue and in the night, Christopher leaves to live with his mother.
Christopher learns that his father killed the dog when he found out his mother was cheating on him with the dog's owner. The story continues and things eventually go back to normal and Christopher ends up going back home. This story is a great one and it kept me on my toes the whole time. I would definitely recommend this book to all audiences.
