This is an extraordinary insight into the sometimes comic, more often bleak and frightening world of a 15 year-old boy with Asperger's. He hates anything yellow or brown or being touched; loves lists and patterns; is good at maths and cannot lie; other humans are a mystery. His story begins when he finds a neighbour's dog murdered and sets out - with his pet rat - on a journey which will irrevocably change his life.
