• Absolutley Excellent
  It is often easy for those who write Young Adult/Juvenile fiction to make some characters overly antagonistic and others overly sympathetic. RULES, however, creates real characters who are both sympathetic and humanly annoying. I adored Catherine and her brother David. I found them both to be endearing, funny and easy to feel compassion for. Catherine's "rules" were familiar to me as a mother of a son with Asperger's Syndrome. I understood her need to keep a situation under control because it can so easily... more info

• Amazing!
  Catherine's younger brother is autistic and though she loves him, she sometimes resents how difficult her life is with him in it. She wishes, for once, that her parents would think of her first and that David would just follow the simple, everyday rules of life that are obvious to everyone else. She creates a list of rules for David (No toys in the fish tank).

• A great book that really shows the discomfort of meeting someone who is different! An Honest, Real & Genuine Read!
  I love this book! Rules is a Newberry Honor Book and winner of the Schneider Family Book Award. Well-written and a smooth, easy to read story, words that come to mind when I think about this book are: Honest, Real and Truthful. I like this book because to me it doesn't seem forced or fake - it's Genuine.

• Rules
  Rules is an excellent book. Rule is about a twelve year old girl named Cathrine who has a brother named David who has autism. Cathrine tries to teach him rules like " No toys in the fish tank and "Keep your pants on in public." I think Rules is a wounderful book to read beacuse it's about Cathrine trying to make friends and a girl moves in next door and tries to make friends. If you want to know if they become friends, read Rules. I would recommend this book to people who like books with good narration.
