The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time

Bonnie says: I enjoyed learning how one person with autism might respond to various situations as well as how literal and honest they were.

As a dog lover, it was hard to learn about what happened to Wellington (the dog), but it was good to have the mystery solved at the end.
