Book Review: Rules

Rules by Cynthia Lord
Recommended by Haley A.

For my review I chose the book Rules by Cynthia Lord. This book is about a thirteen year old girl named Catherine who goes through the struggles of having a little brother with autism. Throughout the book you'll learn how her brother has affected her life from boys to friends from hate to love. Over the summer she meets Jason, who is wheelchair bound and she's afraid what her so called friend Kristi (who makes fun of David her brother) and her jerk of a boyfriend will think.
I chose this book because its really fun to read and I think I learned a lot about how people live when family members have disabilities.

My passage from the book:

"Your right." I click the seat belt across me and open my sketchbook open to the back pages. That's where I keep all the rules I'm teaching David so if my someday-he'll-wake-up-a-regular-brother wish doesn't ever come true, at least he'll know how the world works, and I won't have to keep explaining things. Some of the rules in my collection are easy and always : Say "excuse me" after you burp.
Don't stand in front of the TV when other people are watching it.
Flush!
