The book I read was Rules, By
Cynthia Lord.
This book is about a girl named
Catherine and her brother with autism. I chose this book because I didn’t have
any other choice. Catherine just wants a normal brother that knows how to
behave and act normal but he can’t because he has autism. So Catherine tries to
teach him rules and how to behave. One thing I liked about this book was that
it was funny and it kept me interested. Some parts were boring though and were
slow. Another thing I liked about this book is that it made me think about
stuff I have never thought about. One thing I didn't like about this book was when
Catherine always would yell at her brother because he is not normal, and it’s
not his fault that he has autism he didn’t choose to be like that.
I think this age group is appropriate for sixth
grade and up. I would recommend this book to anyone. I think this book is more
for girls though. It is a good book to read.
