House Rules by Jodi Piccoult

This book is amazing. It's the story about a teenage boy with Asperberger's Syndrome. This is a condition that falls on the autism spectrum. This young man is obsessed with criminal forensics and often sets up crime scenes for his mother to solve. This is all great, until he sets up a real crime scene to point the police in a different direction. Now he has to deal with lawyers, courts and uncertainties of family. It is heartywarming, intriguing, enlightening and a wonderful read. Not only does it take you into the mind and life of a person who lives with Asperberger's Syndrome, but also into the life of the family that also lives with it (and those with lack of knowledge that have to engage with those who have). Anyone above the 5th or 6th grade could read and enjoy this book. Everyone will learn something through its pages.
