Colin Fischer

By: Ashley Edward Miller, Zack Stentz

Narrated by: Jesse Eisenberg

Encyclopedia Brown from the screenwriting duo behind X-Men: First Class and Thor!

Colin Fischer cannot stand to be touched. He does not like the color blue. He needs index cards to recognize facial expressions. But Colin is Wayne Connelly's best--and only--hope of proving his innocence after Wayne is accused of blowing up a birthday cake in the school cafeteria. Colin and Wayne quickly set off on a journey to prove Wayne's innocence, but neither realizes just how far their investigation will take them or that it will force Colin to consider the greatest mystery of all: what other people are thinking and feeling.

Colin Fischer is a modern-day Sherlock Holmes. He's a boy with Asperger's syndrome who sees clues in the unlikeliest of places, and whom readers will root for right up until the case is solved . . . and beyond.

I love Colin and his logical, literal, Mr Spock like way of looking at the world

Wow did I love this funny, heartfelt, intelligent little book. Colin is autistic. He sees the world in a very unique way which can get him in a lot of trouble but which also helps him solve mysteries, overcome adversity, and in the end benefit everyone around him. This is a really heartwarming book

love it

love it, although the footnotes can be disturbing and annoying sometimes. jesse's performance makes me feel he is collin himself.

Kinda like a children’s book

The book is interesting overall. Those footnotes are funny yet factual. Always love Jesse’s performance. His tone and speed really match the characteristics of the roles. But I do wonder if this book is for children. The twist cannot even be called “twist”. It’s too simple and plain. But anyway, the perspective from Collin is really interesting, those analyses and stuff. Overall, it’s not bad.
