Twelve-year-old Matthew is trapped in his bedroom by the crippling
OCD. Matthew believes that he was somehow responsible, and the
guilt weighs heavy on him. He spends most of his time staring out
of his window as the inhabitants of Chestnut Close go about their
business – until the day he is the last person to see his next
door neighbour’s toddler, Teddy, before he goes missing. Matthew
must turn detective and unravel the mystery of Teddy’s disappearance
– with the help of a brilliant cast of supporting characters.

Page-turning, heartbreaking, but ultimately life-affirming, this story is perfect for fans of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time and Wonder. It is a book that will make you laugh and cry.

goldfish boy is a great book about a boy who has to keep himself and everything else around him clean. one day, a toddler next door disappears and he decides to try and find out who did the crime, but, with him not liking the outdoors, it is harder than the thinks.

The book was very interesting. I like the way Matthew does not give up to find the kid. My favourite character is Melody because she is not afraid to be herself around other people. She is also really kind and friendly.

It was interesting because it was an investigation story and the book wasn’t just about one character.

one of my favorite books that I've ever red. The book is quite a strange one to start of with, it gives not much information to start of with but when the story unfolds its quite a mystery.
