Catherine just wants a normal life. Her brother David has autism and always embarrasses her. She has been trying to teach simple rules to David such as, "keep your mouth closed when you eat", or "keep you pants on in public". In the summer she meets Jason, a surprising, new sort of friend. He talks to her and makes her feel some what normal.
The book cover!
This is a picture of the RULES book cover. It shows a duck in the fish tank because that is a rule "No toys in the fish tank."
1-5?
I give this book a FIRING FOUR because it wasn't a perfect 5 but it was such a good book with details to get it a 4!! I would recommend this book for grades 3rd-5th. I think it's a good book for all genders.
A new friend!
The most important part of this book was when Catherine met her new friend Jason. Jason can't talk, but he communicates with note cards. He makes Catherine feel special.
