DescriptionRules, Cynthia Lord’s Newbery and ALA Award-winning
debut novel, is a tender look at the frustration, struggle,
devotion, and hope experienced by families with autistic
children. Catherine, a 12-year-old girl with big responsibilities,
loves her autistic younger brother David and makes lists
of rules she thinks will help him get by. But she often feels
that her parents, focused on special care for David, forget
that she exists, too.
“... this sensitive story is about being different, feeling different, and finding
acceptance.”—School Library Journal
