Need help- do you recall this book?

My friend read a book many years ago that started with chapter 2 and one of the characters was the author and it was his fault that chapter 1 was missing. He can't remember the name of the book. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

My Google-fu tells me it might be The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime. Which I actually have downstairs, but I'm too lazy to go look. Does your friend remember the author having Aspergers/Autism?  The first Chapter is 2 because the narrator is into prime numbers.

I just checked the book and it does start at ch.2.

I just read that book! My 15 year old had it as a school assignment and I picked it up after he was done with it. Well worth a reread, imo.

I was thinking Curious Incident. I read it years ago though so my memory of it is far from sharp.

I actually have that book too but I don't think that's the one. I think it's a older book and it has 2 kids and an adult. The adult is the author. The kids find the typewriter he was using to write the book
