Title: A story of friendship.
Review: Rules is a wonderful book and is very deserving of the honors it has received. It is a story about Catherine and her daily life with her brother, David, who is autistic. She loves him, takes care of him, and teaches him all kinds of rules just in case he wakes up one day and is "normal". On the other hand, she is also embarrassed by him and wants to keep him hidden from her friends.Catherine befriends Jason, a paraplegic, during one of her brothers' therapy sessions. He communicates with a book of words that Catherine eagerly adds to. The relationship between Catherine and Jason is very sweet and caring with occasional ups and downs.I really enjoyed this book, but I do believe that many of the issues the author raises would get overlooked by the younger readers. This book would be a great book for parents and younger readers to read together, it would also make a wonderful book to read as a class.
