Product Description:
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?

Rating:  - A Book Review for Rules by A. Hoffman
I really enjoyed the book Rules. I think it is an honest look at how siblings feel about one another especially if one sibling has a disability. I think this book is a great read for young children because it delivers a great message that having an autistic brother can be hard, yet the reader leaves with a sense of the love Catherine feels for her brother. I recommend this book to my 5th grade students. So far they all have enjoyed reading the book. Some background knowledge may be needed as the ... Read More

Rating:  - Hmmmm
Hmmm...., what can I write about this book. Great character's, intelligent details, honest theme, STEREOTYPICAL!!!!!

It seems that the only way authors can ... Read More
Rating: - Rules .... is a very, very compelling book for tweens
This book screams out exactly what the title says.... Catherine has a learning disabled brother who cannot function in social situations.She give him "rules" that guide him to more or less do the "socially correct" thing.
My daughter was enthralled.Perfect gift for any tween.
The characters are believable and likeable.It helps that my daughter's best friend has a brother with Asperger's Syndrome.She found the story very compelling and even chose to do a 5th grade ... Read More
Rating: - Rules
We all do it, out of human nature. We see people we feel to be less fortunate than us and we can't help but look their way. A glance filled with pity and guilt. Whether it be physical limitations from something like cerebral-palsy or "odd" behavior stemmed from something like autism. However, inside these individuals lies someone as interesting, as creative, and as normal as you and me. Often times our looks and glances are not meant to hurt or offend but that doesn't me they aren't received that way. ... Read More
