If you like mysteries and you enjoyed Curious Incident of the Dog in The Night by Mark Haddon, then you will love this book. Like Mark Haddon's book this too has a character who suffers from Asperger's Syndrome, although this term is never used in the book.
Ted's cousin, Salim, goes missing under mysterious circumstances while travelling on the London Eye. Ted with his no nonsense literal way of seeing things, solves the mystery.
A much simpler book than Mark Haddon's classic but riveting from start to finish. A bonus is the literal interpretation of idiom and slang expression by Ted and his obsession with weather and Meteorological terms.
A great read for intermediate and junior high school students.
