The London Eye Mystery by Siobhan Dowd
4.0
In a very similar vein to 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night' only for a slightly younger audience.
The MC and narrator of the story is on the spectrum and so sees the world from a different perspective that ends up helping him solve the mystery of his missing cousin.
Particularly neatly thought through is Ted's keen interest in the weather and how he uses it as a tool to interpret human emotions including his own.
The story unfolds at an efficient pace and the solution to the mystery is satisfying. I'll continue to recommend this to my year 5/6/7 students who have already read Wonder, Out of my Mind etc.
