Spoilers ahead!

This story was incredibly wholesome and an interesting read. We get to peer into the mind of a young autistic boy who is writing the story “himself” accompanied by his minddrawings and notes. This makes the book quite unique. What starts as a murder mystery (of a dog) unravels into a heartbreaking story of having to live with autism and a devastating divorce messing up a young child's life. I am glad I picked this book up from the shelves and I couldn't stop reading until I found out what was going to happen in the end.
