Criado entre professores especializados e pais que definitivamente não sabem lidar com suas necessidades especiais, Christopher John Francis Boone tem 15 anos e síndrome de Asperger, um transtorno no espectro autista. Ele adora listas, padrões e verdades absolutas - ele sabe até mesmo todos os números primos até 7.057, além de todas as capitais do mundo! Odeia amarelo e marrom e, acima de tudo, odeia ser tocado por alguém.
Christopher nunca foi muito além do seu próprio mundo, não consegue mentir nem entende metáforas ou piadas. É também incapaz de interpretar a mais simples expressão facial de qualquer pessoa. Ele mesmo define seu cérebro como um computador com uma enorme memória fotográfica e capaz de resolver complicadas equações matemáticas mas com nenhuma habilidade para lidar com emoções ou pessoas.
Um dia, Christopher encontra o cachorro da vizinha morto no jardim. Ele é logo acusado do assassinato e preso. Depois de uma noite na cadeia, decide descobrir quem matou Wellington, o cachorro, e escreve um livro relatando suas investigações. O resultado é O estranho caso do cachorro morto, a história de um garoto com Asperger decidido a resolver o assassinato do cachorro do vizinho que encontra em suas investigações verdades inesperadas sobre si mesmo e sobre o mundo.

Work Description
This is Christopher's murder mystery story. There are no lies in this story because Christopher can't tell lies. Christopher does not like strangers or the colours yellow or brown or being touched. On the other hand, he knows all the countries in the world and their capital cities and every prime number up to 7507. When Christohper decides to find out who killed the neighbour's dog, his mystery story becomes more complicated than he could ever have predicted.
