Content preview
Christopher lives with his dad and rat Toby in Swindon at 36 Randolph Street. Christopher
is 15 years, 3 months and 3 days. His Dad (Ed Boone) is 44 years old. He liked Mrs Shears
(Eileen), he works at his own ´Ed Boone Heating Maintenance & Boiler Repair´ (is on his
van) and his pincode is 3558. Siobhan is a teacher of Christopher´s school since he was 12.
His Behavioural Problems are;
- not talking to people for a long time
- not liking being touched
- groaning (kreunen)
- not liking yellow and brown things and refusing to touch it
- if someone touch his toothbrush he will get another toothbrush
- not smiling
- he hates France
If father and Christopher say ´i love you´ they stretch their fingers in a fan and touch each
others fingers.
He hates brown because; dirt, gravy, poo, wood, Melissa Brown (girl on his school who tore
his big astronaut painting in two pieces)
He hates yellow because; custard (vla), banana (can also turn brown), double yellow lines,
yellow flowers (allergic), sweetcorn (mais)
His favourite colours are red and metal colour.
His favourite book is ´The Hound of the Baskervilles´ because it is a detective story
(Sherlock Holmes).
His favourite animals at the Twycross Zoo were; Randyman=Red faced Black Spider
Monkey, Patagonian sealions (Miracle and Star), Maliku=Orang-Utan.
Christopher writes a book about the dead (and who did it) of the dog of Mrs Shears called
Wellington. His book is 25cmx35cmx1cm.
Mr Shears (ex of Mrs Shears) is Christopher´s Prime Suspect, Christopher thinks he killed
Wellington to hurt Mrs Shears as revenge.
If Christopher wants to calm down he get into the airing cupboard (=droogkast) in the
bathroom.
Christopher loves space, he wants to become an astronaut. To be a good astronaut you
have to be intelligent, know how machines work, like to be on your own and you can´t be
homesick.
, Black Day: When he sees 4 yellow cars in a row
Super Good Day: When he sees 5 red cars in a row
Father thinks Mr Shears (Roger) is evil because his (ex)wife had an affair with him.
Christopher found letters of his mom to him that was sent 18 months after she died →
16-10-1997.
His mom left/died around woensdag 24 april 1996. Mother (Judy) lives with Roger now in
London at 451c Chapter Road (Willesden).
ん is discovered by Robert May, George Oster and Jim Yorke
Joseph eats everything; blue disinfectant toilet blocks, writing paper, paints, plastic forks. He
also bangs on his chin and screams a lot.
Father lied about the dead of mom because she had an affair with Mr Shears. Father always
said that his mother died by a heart attack, but that was not true. His mother send him a lot
of notes but father hide them in his shirt box in the cupboard in his bedroom but one day
Christopher found the letters of his mom to him. Father told him the truth and that he also
killed Wellington. He did that because when mom left, she helped dad through a hard time
but she gave more about her dog than about Christopher and dad and that is why father
killed Wellington.
Christopher didn´t trust father anymore, he was scared of being killed by his own dad so he
hid. He thought his dad would be looking for him in the shed so he hid himself between the
wall of the shed and the fence behind the big, black, plastic tub for collecting rainwater.
After his dad left for searching him, he went to the train station to go to live with his Mother in
London. He found the station by moving in a spiral.
Christopher likes timetables because they make sure you don´t get lost in time.
In the train; opposite the toilet were two shelves with cases and a rucksack on them and it
made him think of the airing cupboard at home, so he climbed onto the middle shelf and
pulled one of the cases across him like a door.
Reverend Peters was the invigilator while Christopher made the exam (Paper 1) he was
reading ´The Cost of Discipleship´ by Dietrich Bonhoeffer and he smoked a cigarette. Page 2
(day 2); he road the same book and he didn´t smoke a cigarette. Page 3 (day 3); he road the
book ´Daily Mail´ and smoked three cigarettes.
He got an A grade on his Maths A level. Next year he would do A level Further Maths and in
two years he is going to take a A level Physics and get an A grade.
Then he will get a First Class Honours Degree and he will become a scientist. He know he
could do all of this because he find his mom, traveled on his own to London, wrote a book
and solved the misery of Who Killed Wellington.
Mrs Gascoyne was his math teacher.
The bathroom of the new house of mother smelled like socks and pine air freshener.
