Rules


Catherine is a teenage girl who has a little brother named David. David has autism. Sometimes Catherine gets annoyed with David because he does stupid stuff in public. One of those things that he will do in public is pull his pants down if they get the tiniest bit wet. Catherine creates a set of rules for David so he does not embarrass himself or others. There is a family that is moving in next to Catherine and David and the family has a girl about Catherine's age. Catherine really wants to make freinds with this girl. There is only one peroblem...David. One day, Catherine's mom asked her to go next door to invite their family to a cookout that tonight.Catherine is not so confident about the idea because she does not want David to do something stupid in front of their new neighbors.Luckily for Catherine, they could not come. You have to read the book to find out how the story ends.
I recomend this book because it is fun, interesting, and it teaches us about autism. It also teaches us that just because someone has a disability, that does not mean that they are not still a human just like me and you.
