A heartfelt and witty debut about feeling different and finding acceptance--beyond the rules.

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 stop his embarrassing behaviors. But the summer Catherine meets Jason, a paraplegic boy, 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?

This is a very good book. I don't think it could be better then it is already.

My fourth grade teacher read this to us and I just had to read it again.

Rules is a book about a boy with autism and a girl who has a little brother with autism and she colors with the boy at the center and you will have to read it to find out what happens in the end it's a good book
