Rules by Cynthia Lord




No David, you can't put rubber ducks in the fish bowl. That is one of the many problems that Catherine has to explain to her brother David. It's not exactly David's fault. It's a birth defect, but Catherine is getting sick of telling her brother what to do. But then Jason comes along. But David has to follow the RULES.


12 year old Catherine Collins has a complicated life. An autistic brother, David who is 8 years old, and is totally embarrassed by both him, and her paraplegic friend Jason. She makes a book of rules for David to follow, but there always seems to be something he does that makes it onto the Rule Book. Will Catherine ever introduce Jason to her friends? Will David ever follow the rules?


I chose this book because it had vibrant colors. I liked the book, but got annoyed with how naggy Catherine was. I just wanted to punch her in the nose. I'd give this book 2/5. But I liked how Catherine ended up not being ashamed. :p
