Helpful Score: 1

This was a treat to read! A charmingly gentle and compassionate fiction story with a very real to life voice, this "mystery" involves an autistic teenager on the outskirts of London who faces family drama and neighborhood problems while nearly (but not quite) exhausting his coping skills. You will root for this simple yet complicated young man as he struggles to understand his world. The character of his father is brilliantly explored, presenting a faceted and flawed man with a good heart.
