Annotation:
“Colin Fischer doesn’t like to be touched. Or the colour blue. He avoids eye contact unless absolutely necessary” (blurb from back cover).
This book novel tells a story of a 14-year-old boy who lives with Asperger’s syndrome. Highly intelligent but struggles with social interactions and emotions. Every chapter starts with an extract from Colin’s diary, which gives a fact about and thought process of some with Asperger’s. At school, he deals with constant bullying and seen as an outcast. One lunchtime a gun went off in the cafeteria - a crime mystery established. Colin was not scared of the event and went straight into investigating by proving with true facts to who did it.
