Rules (Scholastic Gold)

This Newbery Honor Book is a heartfelt and witty story 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 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? Rules joins the Scholastic Gold line, which features award-winning and beloved novels. Includes exclusive bonus content! — ASIN: 0439443830 | ISBN13: 9780439443838 | ISBN-13: 978-0439443838
