Rules

Written by Cynthia Lord

Twelve-year-old Catherine just wants her life to be normal, and she has tried to get her brother, David, who has autism, to conform. She wants him to keep his pants on in public and call things by their correct names. But when Catherine meets two new friends, Jason and Kristi, she discovers that defining normal is harder than she thought.
