What is The Curious Incident of the Dog of the Night-Time about?

When 15-year old Christopher finds himself at the scene of a crime, namely the murder of his neighbour's dog Wellington in his owner's garden (at seven minutes past midnight), he finds himself a suspect due to his Asperger's condition. So he embarks on an extraordinary journey across the country that pits this amateur detective against the murder mystery culprit, and forcing him into conflict with his family, his dreams and his ambitions, with a triumphalist spirit that will uplift and keep you thinking long after you've left the theater.
