A truly wonderful book! It is a pretty quick read and beautifully crafted. The main character is a 15 year old autistic child and he is writing a "murder mystery" with the helpful advice of his teacher. He only includes chapters in prime numbers as those are the ones he likes. It is a forthright perspective from an autistic mind and his true story unfolds with some shocking revelations. I was moved by his experiences and loved the ending! On the list of "1,001 books to read before you die" and I sincerely agree!
