The Curious Incident of The Dog In The Night Time

I have this book, it was recommended to me by a friend who has studied Mental Health Disabilities at University. I can't really comment on it as although I have had it for some time now, I have not yet read very much of it!! But from what I have read, it looks like a very informative book.

This book was written by a boy with Autism and he is arrested for stabbing his neighbours dog with a garden fork, as he was found standing over the dog when the police arrive, but it wasn't him. He found the dog like that, and so he goes on a quest to find out who really did it (this is a brief description of what I've been told the book is about)

Ten Things

This is a book that I am recommending. I bought this book around the same time I bought the Playing, Laughing and Learning book. This book is a very good source of information and I have actually used a lot of things in this book on Taylor's Blog. I leant it out over 12 months since and unfortumetely it has not yet been returned to me. I know I have used it a lot as a reference book and some of it's contents in the Blog but I can't actually give a detailed description on it as I can't find one and because it's been so long since I read it, I can not actually remember a lot about it. I have that many different books, sometimes it's easy to get them mixed up as after a while they all tend to sound the same!! But as it's a book I have I would highly recommend it.
