Book Reviews of Rules (Newbery Honor Book)
Book Review: review from a parent of a son with autism and a teacher
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was fantastic! I wil definitely read it with my students this upcoming school year. My 5 year old son has autism and goes to the elementary school that I teach at. He will start Kindergarten this year. Granted he does not have many of the autistic characteristics that David does, but the author is dead on accurate when she describes how others may look at a child with autism. Children on the autistic spectrum vary in many ways. No two are the same. It is nice to finally see an author portray a child with autism who talks. When people meet my son they are shocked when they find out he as autism because he is very verbal (even orders his dinner when we go out to dinner and said the Pledge of Allegiance on our school news show), does not flap his arms or flick his fingers, does not rock, and he does not like spinning things. He also loves to give and receive hugs. I admire the author for bringing her life experience into print so others, especially younger people, will understand autism better.
Summary of Rules (Newbery Honor Book)
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 stop his embarrassing behaviors. But the summer Catherine meets Jason, a paraplegic boy, 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?Ages 9-12 Books
