The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night
by Mark Haddon
“The book that I have given every student-teacher who I have ever had teach for me is The Curious Case of the Dog in the Nighttime by Mark Haddon, which is a story of a boy who is on the Autism-spectrum and is trying to interpret the world. I always say that for us to teach students effectively we must try to see the world through their eyes, and sometimes that doesn’t make sense to us, but its our job to try to understand it as best as we can.”
— Matthew McCutcheon, Middle School Teacher
