This brings Christopher on a journey through drunk neighbor and and hidden drawers.Then he soon understands and has to deal with the lies that were made to protect him.

     Christopher deals with the issues in this book through running away or counting cars to calm himself. This is mainly because he is social challenged and can't show how he feels, this also happens to even people whom aren't like Chris and that is how the author addresses issues. He also addresses issues by showing us Chris' point of view. This lets us know he he feels and it shows how he is just like us and we relate to him when he feels sadness.For example when Chris decides to go to write his book he learns about his mother's affair with Mr. Shears this shows that he really was unaware. All of us love someone , and Christopher although a bit challenged shows his love to his father though touching hands. This shows he is just like us and we can understand the problematic things in his life. The author shows how Christopher need order to survive just a bit more than us such as counting cars to calm himself down or to draw faces to understand other people. He shows more importantly like us he can be afraid . For example when figuring out his father killed Wellington he runs away and has to ask strangers for help showing how scary someone you don't know can really be.

     In the end the author portrays Christopher as a normal boy and allows us to understand how he feels about these issues . Then shows them as pieces that occur just as  a mystery that needs to be solved.
