I am confident that all books chosen by committee members are titles which represent some area where we would like our students to learn and grow. In many of the titles nominated, we can accomplish exactly that task.
With that said, The Curious Incident is a book that chronicles the quest of a boy with autism as he seeks to discover who killed his neighbor’s dog. In the process readers are taught about the daily fears and struggles of a person on the autism spectrum. This book fosters sensitivity and understanding and I highly recommend it! I think there is a certain level of maturity necessary to approach this book, but for those looking to gain that level of maturity, I think it is a great teacher!
