Review #1
* * * * Stars (Great!)
The main character in this book is Chris – a gifted, autistic 15 year old. At first I thought it was just another book about a weird kid and how he won an award in the Special Olympics, but this book is so much more. Chris has a view on anything and everything. He can’t stand to be touched and acts like a child, yet he has views on God that not even adults can accept and understand.

This is an amazing mystery novel told through the point of view of a kid with autism named Christopher. When Christopher, who is obsessed with Sherlock Holmes, witnesses something that is not quite right, how will he react?
