Rules

Heartfelt journey through family, diversity, and acceptance.

"Rules" offers you a genuine peek into the complexities of a family navigating autism, through the eyes of a young girl craving normalcy. As Catherine's summer unfolds, so does a fresh perspective on what it means to be normal, what it means to accept, and how encounters with new friends can turn our world and our rigid rules upside down. It's tender, it's eye-opening, and it's a story that whispers to the part of us seeking our place in a seemingly rule-bound world.

Description

This 2007 Newbery Honor Book is a humorous and heartwarming debut about feeling different and finding acceptance. 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?
