The London Eye Mystery

THE LONDON EYE MYSTERY: Siobhan Dowd: Young Adult: 322 pages

Autistic Ted and his sister Kat watch their cousin Salim enter the London Eye—a ride similar to a giant Ferris wheel—but when the doors open to let him off, Salim has disappeared. With only a few clues, Ted and Kat piece together the events surrounding the mystery and help the police relocate Salim. Ted narrates the story, giving readers an unusual perspective that is filtered through Ted’s disorder. Mild and gentle, this is a book appropriate for middle readers on up.

I loved this book too. It gave me so much insight to the world of autistic children and how life looks through their eyes. Beyond that, it was just a fun read!
