My book is called, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime, and is written by Mark Haddon. The main character's name is Christopher Boone. Christopher lives with his dad, Ed Boone, in Swindon, England. Despite having mental disabilities, Christopher is very good at math, and would like to be an astronaut. He has a pet rat named Toby, who is one of his friends. He also likes his counselor, Shiobhan, who gets him to write a book (supposedly the one you're reading). One day, Christopher's neighbor's dog is killed, and Christopher, liking mysteries, decides to find out who did it. Trying to solve the mystery leads him to find letters from his mother who his dad told him was dead. Then, he also finds out his dad killed the dog, and, feeling unsafe, Christopher sets off to find his mother. taking the train, he finally wanders to her house , and meets up with her. There is a big reunion, but later he has to go back to his dad's house. There his dad buys him a dog, (after losing Toby), and he slowly starts to trust his dad again.
