We have finally finished the book and I feel that it was a very good read for me that i fully enjoyed. It is time to summarize the last part now. After a long journey, evading policemen, and feeling ill from the overwhelming amount of information and stimuli from the trains and crowds around him, he finally finds his way to his mother and Mr Shears' home, and stays outside until they arrive. His mother is delighted that Christopher has come to her; she cannot believe that Ed would tell him that she was dead. Mr. Shears did not want Christopher living with them. Moreover, very soon after arriving, Christopher wants to return to Swindon in order to take his mathematics A-level. His mother leaves Mr Shears, their relationship having broken down because of the conflict over Christopher.
She then moves into a rented room in Swindon, and after an argument with Ed, agrees to let Ed meet Christopher for daily brief visits. However, at this stage, Christopher remains terrified of his father and makes repeated attempts to prevent him from talking. He hopes Ed will be imprisoned for killing Wellington. Then it happily ends with Ed getting Christopher a pet dog, which he names Sandy after her color, because Toby, Christopher's pet rat, had died, and promising that he will rebuild trust with Christopher slowly no matter how long it takes. Christopher asserts that he will take further A-level exams and attend university. He completes his first mathematics A-level with top grades and, despite previously wanting to be an astronaut, his ultimate goal is to become a scientist. The book closes with Christopher being optimistic about his future, having solved the mystery of the murdered dog, gone to London on his own, found his mother, written a book, and got an A in his A-level maths exam. I can't wait to read the
