Book Reviews of Rules
Book Review: Great book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book for anyone to read. We are never to old to be reminded to look at things from all sides. This book helped to remind me that just because someone may not be able to communicate the same way I can doesn't mean they have nothing to say. It gave me a new look at my own childrens relationship with their autistic sister. Some times it is easy to for get that they are affected by her autism too. I also bought this book for my childrens school libraries. I would recommend this to anyone to read if they are affected by a disability or not.
Summary of Rules
Twelve-year-old Catherine just wants a normal life. Which is near impossible when you have a brother with autism and a family that revolves around his disability. She's spent years trying to teach David the rules from "a peach is not a funny-looking apple" to "keep your pants on in public"---in order to head off David's embarrassing behaviors.But the summer Catherine meets Jason, a surprising, new sort-of friend, and Kristi, the next-door friend she's always wished for, it's her own shocking behavior that turns everything upside down and forces her to ask: What is normal?
