Lord, C. (2008). Rules. NY:
Scholastic.
Summary: Catherine
is a girl that all she wants is a normal life. However, she thinks this is
impossible because her little brother, David has autism. She feels embarrassed by his condition and
wants to avoid things that have him involved. Catherine decides to form a list
of rules for him to follow and keep away from the embarrassing behavior he
displays. In the summer, Catherine meets Jason and Kristi. Now she is the one
behaving in ways she never thought she would.
Review: This is
such an inspiring story that shows readers what autism is like and how it can
impact a family. Yet, it is something that shouldn’t embarrass anyone. I love
how it shows real life situations and how actual people deal with them.
