About this item
Product details
This Newbery Honor Book is a heartfelt and witty story about feeling different and finding acceptance -- beyond the rules.
Rules joins the Scholastic Gold line, which features award-winning and beloved novels. Includes exclusive bonus content!
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?

Great book!
I ordered this book as required reading for my child this summer. After sitting with my child and reading certain chapters and looking at the comprehension questions found online, I would definitely recommend Cynthia Lord's book to siblings of disabled children. It projected an understanding of our differences and the real feelings of a sibling not just in her own personal life, but life outside her home. Honestly, this is a must read to promote compassion and tolerance for everyone.
