The London Eye Mystery by Siobhan Dowd

The two main characters are Ted and Kat, a brother and sister from London. Ted has a "syndrome" which is likely Asperger's from the Autism spectrum, although it's never specifically stated. Kat is a somewhat rebellious teen girl who has a love/hate relationship with her brother, Ted.

Ted and Kat's cousin, Salim, and Salim's mother are moving to New York City and decide to stop to visit Ted and Kat's family in London. While there, they all decide to take a ride on the London Eye. Thanks to a ticket from a mysterious stranger, Salim goes on the London Eye alone. One problem, though. He doesn't get off. The remainder of the story is the attempt to discover what happened to Salim. Ted and Kat are the two primary investigators. Ted's unique way of seeing things ultimately helps solve the mystery.
