Una trepidante novela de detectives situada en el primer curso de instituto y protagonizada por Colin Fisher, un adolescente con autismo. A Colin le encantaría pasar inadvertido, que no le gritaran, que no le tocaran constantemente, que no le obligaran a jugar al baloncesto, que dejaran de hacerle tantas preguntas. Para el no hay nada mejor que observar, sentado en un solitario banco, mientras apunta en su raida libreta roja todo cuanto ve. El dia que se produjo el disparo en la cafeteria, en lugar de huir como todos los demas, a Colin le pudo su innata curiosidad de detective y, decidido y emocionado, se acerco al lugar de los hechos. Empezaba, asi, el primer caso de su vida... Reseña:Colin Fischer es como si un antropologo extraterrestre estuviera atrapado en la Tierra y no tuviera mas remedio que descifrar los comportamientos humanos para sobrevivir.Lev Grossman
